This is the content of the bookmark. Pasting it into the location bar is
just a quick way to test if everything is working prior to saving it
permanently as a bookmark. But it might be easier to go straight to the
bookmark step (see below).
Do you mean clicking on the unicorn icon installed with this extension?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/org-mode-capture/
If you have installed that extension, I think everything should just
work with minimal configuration. The extension is distinct from the
bookmark method. The difference is that a bookmark is a bit more
universal. Once you get it set up the protocol system-wide, the bookmark
should work in any browser.

To save it as a bookmark in firefox, right click on the bookmark bar,
select "New Bookmark," and paste it into the Location field.

The bookmark should work with and without selections.

This can be controlled with the emacs variable
`org-protocol-default-template-key'. You can also specify a template
shortcut by changing the bookmark. For instance, to call a template
designated by "x", you could use the following:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?template=x&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
