Worked!

Did not work, strangely enough.

I then went into system-config-network to take a look, that's were I 
once had my interfaces setup, and noticed that 'Controlled by 
NetworkManager' was un-ticked, so i ticked it, reset the configuration 
options above, and tried again. This times both thunderbird and firefox 
started at once when logging in.

So apparently, to make NetworkManager happy with static addresses that 
has been set up with system-config-network, one needs to tick 
'Controlled by NetworkManager'.
