Pale Moon - PortableApps edition

Formalities:
Program: Pale Moon

License: Open Source/GPL

Description: Custom-built and optimized Firefox browsers for Windows Operating Systems.

Website: http://www.palemoon.org/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the real stuff:

I know there is a portable edition of Pale Moon.

However, you can't use it as a default browser. Every time you want something, you have to open it by hand, and ctrl+c / ctrl+v the links, everything you just want to check in that browser.

But! Firefox Portable edition (so the PortableApps one), can be associated with the links and can be used as a default browser. (Which is just great!)

I'd like to ask the PortableApps community to create a portable Pale Moon. WITH the PortableApps launcher. It'd be awesome to benefit from the optimization AND use it as the default browser.

can't be set as default browser

I tried to set Firefox Portable as the default web browser, but it didn't work. The problem is that FirefoxPortable.exe in and of itself is not a web browser. Firefox.exe is a web browser, but it should never be launched except through FirefoxPortable.exe.

Don't do that, just simply

Don't do that, just simply launch the browser (firefox portable), go to settings and use the "Check now" button at Advanced. It works perfectly.

However, Pale Moon won't do anything if I do that.

Not portable

Once you do that, it's not portable.
