If this is the case, can you update your registerfp? THANKS! Did you perhaps make a batch file that uses %1 as the input parameter? If so, try changing the %1 to "%1" which will force Windows to NOT break the input string at the space (which is how it sees it as two parameters). | Link: http://portableapps.com/node/24299#comment-154531 Someone on the portable apps site suggested the following.

Did you perhaps make a batch file that uses %1 as the input parameter?

If so, try changing the %1 to “%1″ which will force Windows to NOT break the
input string at the space (which is how it sees it as two parameters).

After using this method, everything works great, except–

when i double-click a local html file, the filename incorrectly gets incorrectly changed to the old dos 8-character naming, and spaces are treated as separate files.

for example, if i double-click a local file called:
C:\Users\john\Documents\Clients\Jeffrey\Footprints\Walking Tour\avatar\googleMapsAPItest.html

firefox portable opens the following two tabs:

file:///C:/Users/john/DOCUME~1/Clients/Jeffrey/Footprints/Walking

http://www.tour.com/avatar/googleMapsAPItest.html

how can i fix this?

note, firefox portable is set as the default program for local html files.
