You certainly can, the Tor Browser software will still be picking three-hop circuits through regular (non-bridge) relays. Your traffic therefore won't loop around and back through your bridge or something.
If you were to run a regular relay on your computer, then you should consider telling Tor Browser to avoid building circuits through your own relay. You can use the ExcludeNodes option for this, and maybe StrictNodes as well if you want to be extra safe. You can set these options in Tor Browser's torrc file.
Tor automatically detects its own IP address, and avoids nearby relays. So you shouldn't need to modify Tor Browser's config.
