This has been tested and works with Firefox (Iceweasel), Epiphany and Opera 9.5.
 
To be abe to open spotify URIs you first need a simple script:
 
echo '#!/bin/sh' > ~/.browser2spotify
echo 'exec wine "C:\Program Files\Spotify\spotify.exe" /uri "$@"' >> ~/.browser2spotify
chmod 755 ~/.browser2spotify
 
(Change the path to the spotify executable if necessary)

about:config
 
Right click and select New > Boolean and name it network.protocol-handler.external.spotify and set it to True
 
Right click and select New > String and name it network.protocol-handler.app.spotify and set the name to ~/.browser2spotify
