I've not had those issues, but I do have 2 entries in my .mailcap for
text/html. One is for html->text conversion for viewing in mutt and the
other is when I actually want to view the full html in my browser. I
think 'copiousoutput' is the key:
text/html; /Users/tgray/bin/mutt/view_attachment %s html Safari
text/html; /usr/local/bin/w3m -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html
Maybe it might help your problem if you do something like that with your
Firefox command (like the Safari command above). That way, Firefox will
only be called when you run the 'view-mailcap' command.
