As I know and like it is working in live the "-no-remote" parameter is needed. Else the profiles not working independent. We are using different profiles with different settings in our environment, wit "-P profile -no-remote" and it's working fine. Clicking a link in thunderbird is working.
One of our profiles (that for internet usage) is defined as "with no parameter open this", maybe missing this default the link needs always a profile parameter.
