You are welcome, but I'm confused. Should it read that you actually
replaced the Firefox desktop file and now Claws passes the URL through
to Firefox? Which also doesn't make much sense, I'm already confused
by

/usr/bin by default is included to PATH for every distro, so if Claws
does run

  firefox '%s'

or similar, it should do the job.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ env | grep /usr/bin:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/icecat:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

However, it seemingly isn't a Claws issue, but seemingly (was) caused by
this third party install.
