Sharrea,
That choose profile is annoying. I use this script which I called
/usr/bin/firebird to open links in a new tab. If you prefer, you can
substitute new-window. Everything I use that launches URL's calls this
script.

#/bin/bash
browserPath="/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird"
url="$@"
$browserPath -remote "ping()"
# $? = false if running, true if not
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
exec $browserPath -remote openURL"($url,new-tab)"
else
$browserPath $url
fi
exit
