When I type " about:preferences#applications<enter> " in the address bar, I see a list with applications and the way Firefox handles these types of files. I need to introduce a new type of applications: " CAP Capella scorewriter file " and the instruction to Firefox has to be " Open with Capella.exe " .

"Open a *.cap file from Internet and tell Firefox what to do" does not work while Firefox opens the file directly as if it was a kind of textfile.
