I'm totally exhausted too. This morning I googled "migrate from chrome to firefox" because I remembered reading on HN a couple of days ago about a promotional site Mozilla had launched in the spirit of their old "getfirefox.com" campaign but this time it was about how to make the jump from chrome to FF. I needed Mozilla to motivate me to make the jump. I mean, FF is already on all of my PCs. I just can't seem to bring myself to actually make the jump. I just can't convince myself to marry yet another browser, as you do when you sign in and sync to the cloud. It's out of the frying pan into the fire, to me. Google gave me an instant answer on how to migrate from FF to chrome. I immediately closed my default browser, went and played some Tetris on our Sega arcade machine, and tried to forget I'm both extremely privacy aware and extremely disappointed in Google.

Are you sure that was the exact query? Of course it's hard to say anything conclusive these days, but I can't reproduce your results with that exact query. The featured result [0] is for migrating to firefox, and so are all the normal results, all the suggested searches, and two out of the three video results. I can only see mixed results with queries like "migrate chrome firefox" or "migrate firefox chrome", which have no disambiguation about the direction of the migration at all. For those, the top result I see is migrating to Chrome and the second is migrating from Chrome. Given the ambiguity, that hardly seems malicious.
