The particular menu item you are referring to is tied directly to your selected search provider in the search bar in the upper right hand corner of Firefox. If you change your search provider to "Wikipedia" for example, you will now see "Search Wikipedia for [highlighted text]". You can find lots of new search providers on FireFox's Add-on site.

Windows – Disable Google Chrome Context Menu

As users have indicated here, there doesn't seem to be a universal way to disable the right click context menu.

However, you can still accomplish what you want using autohotkey. Just create a script that disables the right click and then launch your desired application, chrome in this case. Then just compile the script to an EXE and you can launch this instead of the explorer shell, for example:

#NoTrayIcon
RButton::Return
Run , C:\<pathtochrome>\chrome.exe --incognito www.mykioskwebsite.com
