Strange. This is not needed to be set for me. Does that setting
override the default use of /etc/mailcap?

I have this comment in my own file.
# The problem with autoview is that it then preferrs the text/html
# part instead of the text/plain part. Instead use 'm' to view the
# part with the associated mailcap.
# auto_view text/html
I don't know if there is a better way to configure it. But because of
not being able to deduce a way to avoid this undesired behavior I
avoid that configuration and use an explicit 'm' to mimecap-view the
html part explicitly instead.

For firefox-esr the "copiousoutput" does not really follow as that is
to tell mutt to pager through the output using the builtin text pager
itself. Which doesn't really apply since firefox-esr opens a
graphical window on $DISPLAY.
Also this is missing a test of $DISPLAY being set. Which means that
it will activate but fail if one is using ssh (without -X) or
otherwise when DISPLAY is not set. And also I admit to cargo culting
here but all of the stock entries use nametemplate.
I suggest starting with the stock entries for firefox-esr:
$ grep firefox-esr /etc/mailcap
text/html; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=HTML Text; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.html
text/xml; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=XML Text; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.xml
image/png; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=PNG Image; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.png
image/jpeg; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=JPEG Image; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.jpeg
image/gif; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=GIF Image; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.gif
And then modifying those to add the -no-remote option or other option as
desired.
