The first one, yes, it opens Firefox and no it opens my homepage instead
of the link:
chris localhost:~$ xdg-open "https://wiki.gnome.org/Evolution";
chris localhost:~$ 
(process:15099): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
'sys_page_size == 0' failed

The 2nd tells me this:

chris localhost:~$ firefox "https://wiki.gnome.org/Evolution";
The program 'firefox' is currently not installed. You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install firefox
