It's pretty simple in Gnome to make it do this every time if you like.
Right click on the file, click preferences, then the 'open with' tab.
You can set your preferred application in there. Then, when you want to
open any other rtf files, just right click the icon, then 'open with'.

Actually.. I think I misread the question because this is a firefox
issue. Still, I assume that firefox reads the desktop mime-type info.
