That affects _all_ users. Or you could disable it for just you, by
realizing that bash-completion-1.3-6 added a patch to make it easier to
disable completion on a per-user basis (stick "shopt -u progcomp" in
~/.config/bash_completion). Or you could leave it enabled, but use
~/.bash_completion to override the _firefox() function to get the
completion that you want for firefox.
Meanwhile, feel free to file a bug report against bash-completion that
it is not doing the right smart completions on firefox. After all,
bash-completion is an active project that is improving smart completions
according to the bug reports it gets.
