Install Shockwave Plugin for Mozilla Firefox Portable

Hello everyone,

I have some Problems installing the Shockwave Plugin for Mozilla Firefox Portable on my pendrive.

I have read the instructions on your Page:

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

But the Problem is that the Shockwave installation routine doesnt let me direct the installation. It just installs Shockwave to the harddrive so i cant direct it to the pendrive.

So i tried the "more geeky" methode. My first Problem there was that my new installed version of mozilla Firefox (on my harddrive) doesnt have the folder Plugins were the np32dsw.dll file should be. I Searched a while and found the file somewhere else and copied it into the Plugin folder on my pendrive.

I found it here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Director\np32dsw_1209149.dll
I got the path via the "about:plugins" command in firefox portable.

I tried to run a Homepage with Shockwave but a popup came that some other files are missing. I searched them too and copied them into plugin folder on the pendrive.

This files were:
M5drvr32.exe
M5if32.dll
np32dsw_1209149.dll
SwDir_1209149.dll
SWDNLD.EXE

After that, there was no longer a popup that files are missing while loading a page with Shockwave. But the Shockwave application is just loading but doesnt work.
I checked the Plugins via about:plugins in mozilla firefox portable and it said that shockwave is installed and it has the right path for the np32dsw.dll file (path to pendrive not harddrive) but the applications with shockwave doesnt work.

Is it possible that the instructions on your Page are for an older version of Shockwave and/or firefox portable ?

And does anyone know how to make it work or which other files i maybe need to copy to the plugin folder ?

So thats my problem and if someone can help me fix it would make my day.

Greetings
