When I click on a link in an offline document it opens C:\Users\NAME\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\App\Cyberfox.exe, instead of C:\Users\NAME\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\CyberfoxPortable.exe. How do I correct this issue? Thanks for any suggestions.

To start off with, we do not provide Cyberfox in a portable format, so we do not provide support for it, either.
With that said, you'll need to look at adjusting the protocol handling on your system to point to CyberfoxPortable.exe instead of Cyberfox.exe. this will likely require modifying the registry.
Something here might help guide you in the right direction: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+protocol+handler
Thanks for your input. It is appreciated.
EDIT
Wow! The info from the link you provided I'm afraid is above my pay grade. I don't understand much of the information nor the terminology. Do you know of a tutorial that might walk me through some steps to achieve the results I want?
Open a command prompt window, and run this:
REG QUERY HKCR\http /s | CLIPThis will put the contents of your "
HKEY_CLASSESROOT\http" registry key in your clipboard.Please paste it into a reply here.

Ok, on my keyboard, I can't seem to find the vertical line I'm to enter between the "/s..." and the "...C" in CLIP,
Anyway, I'm somewhat familiar with the registry, so I took a look and exported the contents to a .reg file, and pasted from notepad below.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http]

Is this what you needed?
Thanks for your help. It's very much appreciated.

It's often called the 'pipe' character (especially when being used to "pipe" output from one command to another), and is usually produced by pressing
Shift+\, but I figured you would just copy and paste the command.Anyway, yeah, the exported registry key works fine.
So, since you're somewhat familiar with the registry, I'll tell you how to do this using regedit.
Anyway, I believe what you want to do is to go into the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\commandkey, and change(Default)value so that instead of saying"C:\Users\BHM_HYBRID\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\App\Cyberfox\Cyberfox.exe" -osint -url "%1"it says"C:\Users\BHM_HYBRID\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\CyberfoxPortable.exe" -osint -url "%1"Alternatively, you can run a command prompt window as an administrator (
Shift+Right-click> "Run as administrator") and execute the following command:After which you'll need to answer "yes" to tell it that it's OK to replace what's already there.
Both ways do the same thing.
Please reply again to let me know if this works for you or not.

Ok, so unfortunately, that did not work. Anyway, I changed it back for now. I'm still open for any other ideas or suggestions?

How did it not work? What actually happened after making that change?

I'm using Firefox Portable now and, I'm having the exact same issue with Firefox Portable. Any thoughts?
Check Windows File Associations?
