Opening Firefox and Thunderbird Tabbed

Was going to run Firefox and Thunderbird on a separate workspace but figured it would be easier for me to have them on the same workspace tabbed. I can get that to work but am trying to do that from login via config.

So far I have this in config

for_window [class="Firefox"] workspace 3
for_window [class="Mail"] workspace 3

Wonder if I can do it another way maybe with i3msg?
