But does it it still exist in the process' environment?
Maybe  emacsclient now just needs a -D option for "use X11 display
found in DISPLAY env var" ? So you can do "emacsclient -D -c", say.

If you set the ViewSourceWith editor to dumpenv, where dumpenv is shell script

#!/bin/sh
env >/tmp/myenv

, what does myenv end up containing?  Does it have a DISPLAY or is
firefox cleaning the env of its children?
