> Link Previews show a snapshot of a page before you open it, helping you decide what’s worth your time. Just long press any link to preview and reduce distractions.

On macOS there is a native affordance for this by using force click. It's kind of annoying that Firefox chose to not support this and instead made it click-and-hold only.

But wouldn't that render the preview with Safari?

No, this would be a custom implementation and they could trigger a Gecko-based preview.
