Hi,

as far as I know this is a general Emacs-issue, not an orgmode-issue; 
nevertheless, here's my (working) solution:
In your ~/.emacs, insert this (or something similar):

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic
       browse-url-generic-program "firefox")


This opens a new Firefox-tab for me.
