Yes, with Internet connections providing plain IP on the WAN connection (no PPTP, no PPPoE, ...), and permitting you don't expect e.g some L3 features like routing or VRRP, this can be configured with any switch.
General advise: Consult with your firewall vendor for HA/failover/cluster configurtion switch requirements.
JohnC_V no Multi-WAN and so on required for such a HA set-up. HA capable firewalls from Fortigate, Sonicwall, or ZyXEL (this isn't consumer ****) are supporting virtual MAC addresses. FMI:HA Cluster virtual MAC addresses

Curious how you intend to connect what akes up the "Internet" at your site - typically a device with just one port - should be connected in a full HA set-up.
