Does the remote machine have a webserver? You could set your
urlhandler to append the URL to a bookmarks-style file, then just
navigate to that page locally, and click the last link.
Or it could even rewrite an .htaccess so that a particular location
automatically redirects to the most recent url processed by urlhandler,
and then you have a bookmark to that location on your local browser.
If you have no web server, you could try to feed it into a 'mozilla
-remote' somehow. If you only have one-way connectivity (you can only
connect _to_ the remote box, and not initiate a 'reverse' connection),
you could just have the urlhandler dump the URL in a file in a known
location, and run a script locally that does something like 'mozilla
-remote "openurl($(ssh remotehost cat urlfile))"' (that's just for proof
of concept; I'm sure it wouldn't run as is -- especially not without
being more careful about quotes).
Anyway, just a few ideas. I don't think you're SOL just yet.
Of course, for the particular URL in question, this much will suffice:

good times,
