It's not the cache that is the problem here, KDE seems to think 
that firefox cannot handle URLs itself so it downloads the file. 

Look for a file called mozilla-firefox.desktop, firefox.desktop or 
something like that.  In that file, look for the Exec line. 
If it is 
Exec=firefox 
or 
Exec=firefox %f 
then you have found the source of the problem. Change it to 
Exec=firefox %u
