I was at school the other day browsing with my wonderful portable firefox and accidentally opened a PDF. I thought oh crap here comes Adobe. Well after waiting for it to load I downloaded it and used our wonderful Sumatra PDF portable. I had an idea. Could we create a plug in for FireFox that would make Sumatra PDF open the PDF within the browser like Adobe does? I looked at the mozilla website and I didn't see anything about creating your own plugins does anyone know where I can get some info on how to do it?

Just set Firefox to open it with SumatraPDFPortable.exe. The launcher will portablize the setting and it'll just work on any PC. Just be sure to close Sumatra PDF before Firefox Portable to ensure it gets deleted from the temp directory.
