Yes - you can do this.  I got fed up with the profile issue a while
back, and did some searching for a solution.  

Just create the following script (name it "firefox") in your
/usr/local/bin: 

#!/bin/bash

if [[ `ps -e | grep firefox` ]]
then
        #Mozilla is running
        `/usr/share/firefox/firefox -remote 'openURL('$1',
new-window)'`
else
        #Mozilla is NOT running
        `/usr/share/firefox/firefox $1`
fi

You might have to customize it with the correct path to firefox on your
machine.  Then just refer to this script file to run the program.

Hope this helps!
