If something is critical infrastructure for you, better make sure you have a backup.

I've seen this in a Swiss government agency that has Firefox installed exactly for this purpose. Their main browser is the built-in one, but if it can't or must not be used (e.g. because of a zero-day threat), they can quickly roll out a change to make Firefox the default browser until the problem/threat is over.

...why not just make firefox the default browser full-time?

What if Firefox has a problem?
