Google Now actually just changed this so that it always launches in Chrome (like in the last couple of days.) You can launch it in your default browser through the hamburger menu after launching in Chrome. Pretty annoying actually - if anyone knows if it can be changed I'd love to change back. I rely on my search results opening in Firefox so that they get synced with my history and I can pull them up quickly from any device.

EDIT: Here it is on the 'What's New' list from the play store: http://imgur.com/6UGN2Dz they call it 'Open inside the app' but it's a chrome web view.

Yes, it is very unfortunate. This first started happening yesterday (for me), and I was kind of bummed that it didn't open in Firefox like it used to. It is stuff like this that lends credence to the EU's issues with Google. I am not sure why they feel it is worth it to just put stumbling blocks to user choice like this at every possible chance.

Settings -> accounts & privacy -> toggle "open web pages in app"

There's no user-controlled setting for that. Send in-app feedback to complain.
