You could add a tab to firefox's default tabs (the ones it loads on a new session) that points to a webserver you control. Eventually, the stolen laptop's new user will open firefox anew and you'll have the new IP. Obviously if the person stealing your box mounts the drive rather than logging in, this won't help.
