Most web-things are possible.
Try automatic NTLM auth, see if you can get it authenticating in the
background without either IE or Firefox needing to show the login box.

There are other ways, but, they open MAJOR security holes you REALLY do
not want to open.

FWIW: if you have Firefox installed why do you even let the users see IE
as present on the PC? It's only needed for WindowsUpdate and then
marginally. Removing IE from under temptations fingers closes a lot of
security holes in windows (94% of the current SANS list) with one action.
