The feature you're looking for is called "broken symmetry" SCF. It is not implemented in FireFly (I know it's implemented in ORCA). Actually, CASSCF is more theoretically sound method. By CASSCF implemented in FireFly, you can treat up to 1000 basis functions with reasonable active spaces (up to (16,16)).

>Thank you, Alex. But I suppose this is the way to DISTINGUISH but not to SEPARATE this two states. Is there any techniques to "freeze" A[S1]-B[T] state before transition occurs? I suppose in some conformations final vectors should be consist of both A[S1]-B[T] and A[T]-B[S1] CSFs and if, for instance, A[T]-B[S1] is energetically favorable, a contribution of correspondent CSFs will dominate.
