Hi There,
I have a mobile firefox on a USB style token and would like to invoke a virtualized adobe reader (instead of the default Adobe Reader) on the token when a PDF file is rendered from the browser. It works fine when I have the absolute path in mimetypes.rdf, however the drive mapping can change depending upon the availablity of drives (forexample, if d: is already used). Is there a way to use realtive path in mimtypes.rdf? I would like to do something
<?xml version="1.0"??>

There's no need. The path is updated as you move computers by the Firefox Portable launcher. It's all automatic. Just associate it like you usually would and the launcher does the rest.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi John,
Thanks for your response. Could you kindly let me know how to incroporate the dynamic path refrence in mimetypes.rdf? I tried all combinations and nothing worked except for the absolute path below.
NC:path="D:\AReaderv825.exe"

You just do it in Firefox. You don't do anything manually. The launcher will adjust the drive letters as you move around.

John,
I see what you are saying. However, Firefox is on a readonly partition. When the drive changes I get an error message saying incorrect file assciation for opening the PDF. Is there way to use something like this:
urn:handler:local:@:\AdobeReader\Adobereader4.exe
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ram
What you want on a read-only partition is not supported. It can't be redistributed like that anyway due to trademark licensing restrictions.
