That does not happen because you searched for Firefox. A dismissible popup suggesting you 'Switch to Chrome' appears if using IE to search with Google regardless of your search term.

It seems Microsoft is bit more egregious in Bing. If you search for Chrome or Firefox you get "Promoted by Microsoft - Microsoft Edge is the recommended browser for Windows 10 and it’s already installed on your PC."

...and if you change your default browser to anything else, you'll get endless "Try Edge!" messages in your notifications and even on your lock screen.

Microsoft's bad behavior does not excuse Google's bad behavior.
