I think the two entities are very different.

The browser is not a trusted device that gets sent TFA requests.  It is 
just a piece of software that you have granted permission to login.  A 
trusted device is just that - a piece of hardware you must have in your 
posession.

To illustrate the difference, I will speculate that you could backup 
and restore your OS to a different MacBook, and Firefox would continue 
to log in to iCloud for you.  But that new MacBook would not receive 
TFA requests until it was specifically added it to your list of trusted 
devices.
