I suppose that by "the same page" you mean the "home page". When specifying
%u in KMail and KNode, the %u actually gets interpreted by KDE and sends a
command like:
/home/user/programs/firefox/firefox http://example.com
where %u was replaced by the URL trigerred. Unless you are changing the
deafult browsing client for a Mozilla application (Mail or browser), I am
somewhat lost. Why did you look at the documentation for mozilla? Firefox
and mozilla receive as an argument a URL with the possibility of extra
command-line arguments.
Let me know how it goes...
