I think because Firefox get it's mimetypes (linking to applications) from another location....
Maybe this helps you already....:

How does Firefox come into the equation? KTorrent has its own gui.

Downloading a new torrent file?
=> ok, probably you can just do the same with ktorrent; but when browsing with firefox and you come across a link to a torrent, I can just imagine you want it to open ktorrent?
