This looks like a bug in gnome-terminal, to me.  For example:

file://home/pls/test.html

is correctly highlighted by gnome-terminal, and can be lauched in the
web browser.  Unfortunately, Mozilla doesn't like this format; it wants
it to look like

file:///home/pls/test.html

I'd recommend reporting this to the GNOME developers.  The place to
report GNOME bugs is:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
