Problem MozillaFirebird startup script, it does not try to use mozilla
remote protocol before starting new copy of firebird, so you have
questions about profiles.

You can fix it by hands (copy remote part from mozilla startup file)

or simply call mozilla startup script, it will open firebird windows if
firebird already started.

I am workaround this by my own startup script called "browser", it knows
about number of browsers and open window in any already started browser
or starts my favorite one.
