I was sure I had a configuration in my .muttrc directory (I've split into
multiple files in a directory), but I must be mis-remembering! It works out of
the box on my Ubuntu install, and the magic looks to be in the mailcap
configuration file in /etc, although you can also do it with a local .mailcap
in your home directory. The relevant line in my config is:

text/html; /usr/bin/sensible-browser '%s'; description=HTML Text; 
nametemplate=%s.html

although you could specify Firefox directly if you like, rather than using the
system default. My default is Firefox, except when Chrome updates and I have to
put some of the settings back (regular enough that I have a script for it!).
