I don't know about arch, no other distro I know package FF nightly.
Do they have desktop files in desktop path such as
"/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop" that contain in MimeType field
"x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https"
If so you may need to logout/login for the app to be seen by kbuildsyscoca.

This seems like an issue.

I set Firefox as default browser in System Settings->Applications->Default
Applications
and Firefox icon appears in favorites list of kickoff after relogin. But each
time I restart Plasma session,
the "web browser" dropdown in System Settings->Applications->Default
Applications shows a different browser as default despite Firefox icon is
always present in favorites list of kickoff. When such dropdown shows Opera or
Opera beta as default, Firefox asks if I want make it as default at startup.
What's in ~/.config/mimeapps.list ?

It should not, this is expected behavior.
For the system the desktop file name counts, commands (Exec field of desktop
files) do not matter when resolving names / looking for apps.
FYI
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
A better way to achieve what you want, would be to copy the firefox app to a
new firefox desktop file for instance in
"~/.local/share/applications/firefox-local.desktop" and edit this one.
And run kbuildsyscoca/kbuildsyscoca5 or relog to the session. Your new firefox
local will be distinct (use another text in field Name).

Gnome has certainly another way to setup custom local applications.
They must be using $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications to look for apps, when in plasma
we add ~/.local/share/applications to those paths for local editions.
Please keep your bug about one issue, it is getting confusing.
