First of all:

Seems you have tried

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php#sec-3_1

already??  Current versions of FF do not work like that anymore.


I don't use xdg.  But I think xdg-mime is what your searching for?

I you succeed, would you please mail a recipe, so we can add it to
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php
??
