Actually, I think this is because of a change in vim, but firefox also
seems to be fixed:

I created /usr/local/bin/symlink-foo, a shellscript which contains
#! /bin/sh
set -e;
echo "Called as: $0 $@" >&2;
echo "Called as: $0 $@" >>/tmp/sym-foo;

And a symlink to it:

ln -s symlink-foo{,-symlink}

Then told mozilla to open svn-diff.vim with symlink-foo-symlink, and
got the following output:

  Called as: /usr/local/bin/symlink-foo-symlink /tmp/svn-diff-4.vim
