I've found a simple way to do this:

Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Configuration Editor

Right-click and create a new entry ("string") with name:
* network.protocol-handler.app.http*
It's possible that the entry exists and you only have to edit it.

and value:
*/usr/bin/firefox
*or the place where your firefox is (mine is Linux).

Do the same for https and ftp.

Close.

That's it. Enjoy it.
