For Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20091010
Iceweasel/3.5.3 (Debian-3.5.3-2) these steps does the trick for me:

- Add these two preferences to prefs.js:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.org-protocol", "/usr/bin/emacsclient -t %L");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.org-protocol", true);
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

- Start emacs as daemon.
- Start FF from the command line. It wouldn't work if started using a
  shortcut (i.e. with Gnome main menu entry). IIRC I tried to get a
  result without any success until I started FF from the X terminal by
  accident.
- Org-mode must be activated. I suspect that my configuration broken in
  a some way that prevents org-mode + org-remeber functionality to be
  available just right after emacs was started. But I usually activate
  agenda view very early so this is not a problem for me.
