The thing you're missing is that url arguments don't 'open firefox', but
rather get a URL. What that means depends on the hosting application.
That's what movie_root::getURL was designed for, and already handles in
several cases.

The external call for URLs in the standalone player is up to the user.
It can be set in .gnashrc. The way you've hardcoded it will always call
firefox, even when firefox isn't installed or when it isn't the default
browser, and won't work properly at all when running as a plugin because
the target argument is ignored. Calling movie_root::getURL will
automatically handle the target argument correctly.

If you want a new instance of firefox to open from the standalone, you
should change your own .gnashrc.
