That is on two lines.  That will be a problem.

Again that is on two lines.  It needs to be all on one line.

Here is an example.  Try this:

  text/html; /home/mes-mate/firefox/firefox %s; description=HTML Text; 
test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.html

That definitely works for me and I simply substitued your path into
the location.

To test that your firefox is receiving these pages try attaching to it
with the command interactively from another shell window.

  /home/mes-mate/firefox/firefox /tmp/somehtmlfile.html
