Hi

Are you installing Firefox for Android from the Google Play store?

Hello,

Nope, Huawei doesn't have Google Play store since 2019/2020. New phones use HMS Huawei Mobile Services, instead of GMS.

This looks like an error on a CPU made by Huawei and I think is related to US technology ban on Huawei.

I'm searching for a workaround, like a flag on installer, I think is installed from APKPURE.
