One fix to this problem could be the Mundlak (or Chamberlain)
correction. This comes at the cost of making certain assumptions on
the distribution of the random effect. Basically (in the Mundlak
version) you add as additional explanatory variables the within-group
(firm in your case) means of all the covariates and then run the model
as a random effect probit. The introduction of the means should
capture the correlation between the unobserved heterogeneity and the
covariates that renders the random effect model inconsistent. The
procedure is explained very well in Wooldridge's book, in several of
Greene's WP available on his web-site and of course in the original
paper by Mundlak.
Another possibility might be, depending on the type of analysis,
estimating a logit fixed effect which is instead a consistent
estimator and is available as a command in Stata.
Best,
Antonio
