There isn't. You'll need to copy the file to your local machine and then
run firefox on it.
And to copy it? You'd need a reverse ssh:
scp "$@" host:/tmp
ssh host 'eval $(ps auxe |
grep firefo[x] |
grep -Eo '(DISPLAY|XAUTHORITY)=[^[:space:]]*'
);
export DISPLAY XAUTHORITY;
'"firefox /tmp/$...@##*/}"
And put that on a script and use that in the mailcap.
