Someone from the QA team could check if the bug is fixed, as mentioned in the previous comment?

We are still encountering this issue on the latest Firefox versions of Nightly, Beta and Release, with Huawei Mediapad M3 (Android 7) and Huawei MediaPad M2 (Android 5.1.1). The "Set as default browser" toggle remains disabled after setting Firefox as default browser.
Please note that this is not reproducible on Xiaomi/Huawei devices with higher Android Version, on which the toggle is correctly enabled (tested with Xiaomi 12 Pro (Android 13), Huawei P40 Lite (Android 10), Xiaomi Pad5 (Android 12)).

Since this only affects early versions of Xiaomi devices we will accept that this bug exists.
