Not easily.  I guess something like this could work, if you have Mark 
Hammonds win32 extensions installed:

(very untested)

import os, win32api
# start browser
pid = os.spawnlp(os.P_NOWAIT, "iexplore.exe", "iexplore.exe", 
r"c:\blabla\hej.html")
# ...
# kill browser
win32api.TerminateProcess(pid, 0)
