With @Michel_Edward 's generous patient assistance, we managed to find and solve the problem.

The UI for managing the protocol handlers in Firefox is a little broken. You can fix it by telling Firefox to use the system default handler “net-steinberg-sda://” URLs by finding this section in the handlers.json file and ensuring it looks like this:

{
   ...
   "schemes": {
       ...
       "net-steinberg-sda": {
             "action": 4
       }
   }
}

Deleting the file and allowing Firefox to recreate it will also work, but you’ll lose any other protocols that have been registered - which could be annoying.

If it’s a common problem, I might consider writing a little script to fix that file programmatically.
