Can you not just add this as another "search engine" in Firefox for Android? I assume you mean Firefox with FF. I use Mull and there I can define alternative search engines, like so:
Then all you need to do is copy your text, go to browser, set the search bar to use this new "search engine" and paste your text like you'd do for a normal search.
That's probably the easiest thing I've seen so far. Still a bit of a pain when sharing from other apps but I might give it a try.
If you set it as default search engine, it works easily with sharing with the firefox app. But then you have to switch search engines for every time you search something else in that app.
Another workaround could be to install another firefox fork to only use it for this search. You can set up your intended search there and then only use that app for sharing search terms to it.
You can do that with Fennec, Mull and whatever else is out there.
I stumbled across this the other day..
As a shortcut to configuring it, you can go to the site (like Kagi) and if they have a text field to paste into (or a search field) you can generally right click on the field and select ‘add keyword for this search’.. so say you add ‘kagi’ as a search term (in the cmdlet) in the browser address bar you would just type kagi and hit enter
