I dug further into the code of gnome-vfs, and it turns out that it inspects the value of the GConf key /desktop/gnome/url- handlers/http/command when required to open a URL. The code replaces all occurrences of "%s" with the URL passed as a parameter. On my desktop, the default value for this key is "firefox %u". Setting it to "firefox %s" fixes the issue.
