For example, I searched "ups store near los angeles" in both browsers. But Chrome delivers more useful results, providing more detailed info for each ups store (such as address and links to directions and websites). Whereas in firefox, it only shows the phone number. See pics.

So I fixed it by using the "Phony" extension which emulates other user-agent handles. And just switched it to Android phone.

Firefox displays the content that Google sends to it. If they send worse content to Firefox then you will need to give Google feedback about it. I believe https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/websearch is there feedback site.
