Really like your shortcut solution (works well with FF 3.6.17).

One question for you. Is it possible to use relative path statements instead of fixed for those times when you are using FireFoxPortable on a USB stick?

Tks for listening.

Another solution would be to create an asynchronous pluggable protocol example here

That is you could create notepad:// or just launch:// protocol

I use FireFox v3.03 & unfortunately this extension nunja wanna work!?

It asks for the app, I select an app for it, then nothing—no dialog box for other parameters, no button created,,totally nothing? Wassup?

I really like this extension, however it doesn’t seem to work in FF 3.0.1. It is quite frustrating.

Any word on a fix would be appreciated.

I was looking for something exactly like this to load up my UserChrome.css from a button/bookmark into notepad rather than routing through my hard-drive to find it. Unfortunately this doesn’t work with Firefox 3. Are you going to update any time soon?
