That's maddening and it shouldn't be happening.

I doubt it's a version thing. I was running a very outdated copy of
Ubuntu MATE as my operating system for the past several years until
recently. That had an older version of Geany and Firefox in it (I
don't remember the versions). The behavior as I've described it is
how it's always worked for me.
I now have this setup and nothing has changed:
* Kubuntu 22.04 LTS
* Firefox 102.0.1 (64-bit)
* Geany 1.38
The Ubuntu team even switched to a Snap version of Firefox instead of
one that's installed through the package manager and that didn't make
any difference.
Just out of curiosity, what do you have in Geany's "Browser" field
in Edit -- Preferences -- Tools? Mine just says Firefox with no quotes
around it, no additional percents, dashes, or other letters or
characters, etc. If yours has anything but just Firefox, maybe that's
causing it.
A couple of other things to try:
* Create a new user in your operating system and try using
Geany's "Execute" button as that user to see if the issue
persists or vanishes.
* Create a virtual machine and try using Geany's "Execute"
button in it to see if the issue persists or vanishes.
If either or both of those work, it's likely some sort of
configuration somewhere in your current environment. I'm not sure
exactly how one would go about gently and elegantly chasing it down
from there, but it would be a start.
