[PortableFirefox] How to install Adobe Acrobat Reader and SVG Viewer plugin

[Fred Calm]

I second that emotion. I use PFF on a thumb drive at various public 
libraries and love it. The local machines all have Acrobat, etc. installed 
and PFF finds them when needed just fine. If I run into trouble, I can 
always use IE installed on the PC, but that hasn't happened yet. 

The problem of the shifting vaiable drive letters is vexing; it keeps my 
autorun.inf from working smoothly. The shortcuts and paths always mention a 
specific letter, which may or may not be the same at the next joint. 
Launching PFF usually seems to fix the shortcuts and what not; I'm guessing 
John's launcher handles that.

Haven't got AI Roboform Portable to work smoothly with PFF from the thumb 
drive; RF couldn't find a supported browser. Haven't tried it since 
upgrading to PFF 1.0.5 and installing the new Roboform extension, so it 
might be fixed in the meantime.

Thanks, John, for all your work and a really sweet FF distro.
