I just tested this again in my Ubuntu Mate system (Wily, fully updated as of today).
Running the command "gvfs-open http://www.bbc.co.uk";  still results in the same problem - namely a new firefox window that is open at the homepage, not the URL required.

The gvfs-open command does what it should when the running-desktop is
KDE or Unity - but not when it is Mate.

How else can I help debug this?

Bug description:
  The ubuntu bug reporting system is rather badly broken, because when I
  run ubuntu-bug/apport-bug, it gathers data, then opens a new blank
  firefox window, but does not connect to launchpad!

  The root cause is this one:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/1427144
  which basically means that apport needs to invoke firefox with a different set of options.

  This should be trivial to fix, but I think it's rather important, especially given how hard it is to get a direct report into Launchpad, and all the redirects that emphasise using the ubuntu-bug tool: 
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

  (I'm reporting this from Ubuntu Wily, though I think I recall seeing it in Vivid)
  Apport version is:  2.17.3-0ubuntu4
