Are you wanting to use two connections at the same time here? Windows to use the LAN connection, and a specific application (firefox) to use the mobile broadband?

I'm not entirely sure you can route network traffic from one application to a different connection (not on Windows anyhow).

I'll look into it! :)

With some additional software you could conceivably route firefox traffic by configuring your respective firefox proxy settings.
