How did you configure it?  Did you set browse-url-browser-function to
browse-url-firefox?  If yes, what does

  (browse-url-firefox "http://www.gnus.org") <-- Press C-x C-e here!

do?  (If it doesn't open firefox at gnus.org, then that's your problem.
Beside not being gnus-related I wouldn't know what's the solution.)

I use emacs-w3m [1] to render html email:

  (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
  (setq mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
  (setq mm-inline-large-images t)

Of course, if you click a link in a article buffer rendered by w3m it
will be opened with w3m.  But you can fire up your firefox with
browse-url-at-point and friends.
