The fact that you always get www.gnu.org indicates that the "%s" is
not being expanded and Firebird is falling back to a default page.

I do this:

In gnome-control-center->Preferred Applications:

        /usr/local/bin/browse %s

and in /usr/local/bin/browse:

        #!/bin/sh
        /usr/local/bin/mozilla-xremote-client "openURL($1, new-window)"

(change to new-tab if you like)
