It looks to me like the issue here is that the Mozilla team in the past was unwilling to implement anything that wasn't cross platform. I haven't worked with GTK myself but it looks like the new version 3.0 contains features that may just finally resolve this issue.

See: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.0/GtkAppChooser.html

and

http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.0/GtkAppChooserDialog.html

Now the problem is convincing the Mozilla to upgrade to the new API (I would expect this to be the big challenge here) and use this new feature.
