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.
