I know that there's this (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/977330?esab=a&as=aaq) but it takes way too long for the actual website to load before I get to the little Android icon. Is there a way to make it so that it prompts me in the first place before loading the page?

The Android Gingerbread and earlier browser did this if you did not set a default browser and it sucked. The intent dialog would appear for each clicked link and often several times due to redirects.

If a site or intent gives Firefox a URI that it can load as a web page we treat it as such. Firefox is a web browser.
