Does it communicate via usb with the camera? If so it is probably because it uses webusb which is not implemented in Firefox https://caniuse.com/?search=webusb
But you can’t make a native app think it is opening Chrome when it’s opening Firefox with just an extension. The extension only changes things inside the browser, but the Canon app probably checks the app ID of the browser it’s opening, which is done at the level of the Android system, and which is not affected by the extension.
@[email protected] try making a dummy app with com.google.chrome(not sure) as package name and login again. Maybe the browser check get bypassed and it opens in the default browser.
I don’t think that app check signature or so. Its probably checking if app exist or not. Except if the app launches chrome by its indent action instead of normal link opening method
If this was a web view they wouldn’t even need this screen since it could just done in the “app” itself instead of needing to open an external browser.

This is a native Android app from Canon (not a webpage) requiring to open Chrome instead of my default Firefox app.

I understand, but if the application opens the browser you have to make it believe that it is opening Chrome

… which can only be fixed after rooting the phone.

For that you need a ROM that supports signature spoofing, but it should be possible, just not for the common user, sadly

Checking the signature seems like it would be good practice. But that doesn’t mean that they do.
Apps are rarely native these days. Everything is a fucking webview.

Oof.
