I find it surprising that an organization the size of Google doesn't have the resources to test key features in such a notable browser.

Though I just searched and it seems Firefox has a shockingly low market share in mobile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

Perhaps that's why it's not given the attention it needs, how unfortunate.

Bingo, Firefox mobile has << 1% of the mobile browser user base. It's hard to justify the resources to test every change and feature to ensure a good user experience for such a small number of users.

And the reason for this is probably that Chrome comes bundled with Android.

Agreed, and this is likely the entire reason for Android to exist: more searches

Google search is similarly hobbled on desktop Firefox. It looks terrible.
