This may take a little bit of research on "your" part, but it may be an
option.
I am guessing that Evolution makes an xdg-open call to open a link. i think it then uses
the contents of the firefox.desktop to execute.
The way pick which of these, I do not know.
Exec=firefox %u
Exec=firefox --new-window %u
Exec=firefox --private-window %u
Exec=firefox --ProfileManager
But, if you can find a way to have Evolution use an exec line with the command line
parameter "-new-instance" this may be a solution.
FYI, this is just a SWAG. :-)
Update
The "-new-instance" parameter didn't work as expected from the command
line.
So, the other option may be to have Evolution start firefox with a profile different from
the
default.
