Can anyone help me, or give me a hint how it can be possible to make the extension se tthe path correct depandent to the drive it is running.

No easy way

There's no easy way to do this as the extension is expecting to look outside the profile directory... hence the full path. The only possible fix I can think of (without rewriting the launcher for one extension... which won't happen) is to place your pictures as a subdirectory of the directory containing thunderbird.exe. Say photos. And then using a resource://photos in the extension settings. If that doesn't work, you're out of luck.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
