Can thunderbird with -no-remote launch firefox without it?

We have two thunderbird profiles, and we launch thunderbird using -no-remote as follows:

thunderbird -no-remote -P Profile1

and

thunderbird -no-remote -P Profile2

unfortunately, this means that if either of us click on a link in an email, and firefox is already running, we get a warning message telling us that firefox is already running, rather than having it open the link.

Is it possible for thunderbird to use firefox's remote, even though it has been launched with -no-remote?

(if it makes a difference, this is on Xubuntu Karmic)
