I don't know anything about MIME-handlers, but if you want to add 
functionality to Firefox, you'll need to do that through an extension. 
Currently, the only way to use Java in extensions is using LiveConnect 
from JavaScript to load your Java code.  See 
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Java_in_Firefox_Extensions.

That should be easy to do.  You'd just need to get a reference to 
whichever service/component handles opening windows, and then call it 
with the appropriate arguments.  Search on http://developer.mozilla.org.

Also should be doable.
