Launch Firefox using a custom GTK theme

I found how to launch Firefox using this line of code with custom theme:



bash -c 'GTK_THEME="Arc-Darker-GalliumOS" firefox %u'


The thing is that when I open a link from an application it uses the default theme, which doesn't work well with Firefox.



So I opened up Preferred Applications and set as default web browser this line of code.



When I tested that, instead of opening the URL, it just went to www.%u.com



How can I fix that?
