You have most of the outline right, but the key point is that Firefox can be set up to open downloaded files of a given type with a particular program. If you set that particular program to be your script for files of type '.ica', then everything else should work smoothly and automatically.
To set this up, go to Tools -> Options, select the Applications tab, and search for Citrix something-or-other in the list, or perhaps .ICA (I don't have any ICA files to test, so I don't know). If you find the entry, click the combo box next to it and select Use other... from the list. Then browse to the script you created. If you don't find the entry, open the most recent link and wait until Firefox pops up with its download dialog. Then select the Open with option and choose Other... from the list. Then, again, browse to the script you created. That should do the job.
