You cannot install it by default. You might be able to include the
plugin and all the required DLLs (normally in Windows/System32) in the
plugin directory. Both may still require the registry, though, in which
case the above would fail. You'd be on your own figuring out what DLLs
you'd need.
Also, this would be a violation of your license agreement with both
Adobe Reader and the Adobe SVG Viewer.
As a general rule, most plugins cannot be included with Portable
Firefox. Even shockwave, for example, won't work unless it is installed
on the local machine. My hack of adding the DLL to Portable Firefox
just allows it to be able to access that local install.

John
