I finally solved this by simply removing Thunar completely from my
install. Then finally firefox uses caja as wanted.
This unfortunately removes the Xfce task, but I install my needed
packages by hand, so I can live with that.
My problem is basically solved, but I would love to find a way to set
caja as default dbus filemanager without needing to uninstall thunar.
