Thanks to @Fanatique for suggesting EdgeDeflector. After installing it, web results open in my default browser (Firefox).
Note: I also had to install the Bing to DuckDuckGo add-on which changes the search engine to DuckDuckGo. Using Bing to DuckDuckGo will also redirect manual attempts to reach bing.com
Update:
If the initial dialog to choose EdgeDeflector was dismissed (or did not pop-up), you can apply the change in Windows settings:
"Default apps" > "Choose default apps by protocol" (link at the bottom) > "MICROSOFT-EDGE" > Choose "EdgeDeflector".

It looks like the EdgeDeflector project is discontinued thanks to MS!
There seems to be a new way
or you could simply not use the Win search box altogether if that's what MS wants ;)

There is also now a "new" version of Bing to Duckduckgo called Bing to whatever (Firefox) by the same author. In it's settings you can choose between different search engines (including Google, Duckduckgo, Qwant and more).
