  I have since learned the registry key

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\firefox.exe\shell\open\command

with value data

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "%1"  
       [inverted commas included]

needs to be present for Firefox to appear in the "Opens With" list.

  The key was present but, for whatever reason, did not have the value data set.

  Adding "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "%1" to value data has fixed 
the problem.
