The script begins with either one of the following:

  1. ! /usr/local/bin/python3

or

  1. ! /usr/local/lib/python3
The script begins with either one of the following: #! /usr/local/bin/python3 or #! /usr/local/lib/python3

Firefox can't process python files, so will always open the file in an external application. You would have to set up a local server and access the page that way if you want to process such a script before passing the result to Firefox.
