It sounds as though when you installed a different version of firefox it installed some different config files. First, as someone else said, use xdg-open to see how Gnome handles URLs - it should behave correctly, although I suspect it will just open a new window with your home page. The way of calling firefox is determined by the 'firefox.desktop' config file. That should be in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop That file should contains a line "Exec=firefox %u" - the %u will be replaced by the URL. However, I suspect that when you installed firefox the installation installed an equivalent file in ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop or /usr/local/share/applications/firefox.desktop check in both those places and examine the content of any firefox.desktop file you find to make sure the Exec line is as above. There should be no harm in renaming any firefox.desktop file you find in /usr/local/ or ~/.local so it isn't picked up - doing so will, hopefully, re-instate the behaviour of firefox.
