Particular link or particular mime type (.torrent)?

True is that mime types are a mess in Firefox (they are not very well
managed) ;-(. Besides, Firefox also relies on your system settings to
handle the applications for opening resources that are not registered in
its own application database.
Do you have registered ".torrent" extension within GNOME (or your DE)?
You can download a ".torrent" file and the run "gnomevfs-info
file.torrent". It will display the information for that specific mime
type.
