Open a terminal and type 'gnome-control-center'
If it isn't there, then install it as root with 'urpmi gnome-control-center'

Now, click on Advanced on the left side of the screen. Then double click
on preferred applications. The first window should be about web
browsers. Change it to Custom, then type in, 'mozilla-firefox %s'.

If you want improved mozilla-launching, I have attached an executable. Save
the file to a temporary directory, open a terminal, become root, and
copy the file into /usr/bin. Then run this command: 'chmod 0755
/usr/bin/launch_firefox'. When you are done with that, you can go back
to the preferred applications window and change mozilla-firefox to
launch_firefox. It will now open a new window if no running firefox
process was found, and open a new tab if there is a firefox window
already open.

It will now open mozilla firefox from your mail client.
