New features

These new features are mainly for Firefox Portable users.

Support relative file path

If an input path starts with “.”, AppLauncher treats it as a relative file path. Note that it is relative to the working directory of Firefox. For instance, in case that you launch Firefox by clicking a file icon of Firefox.exe, the working directory is the directory which contain Firefox.exe file.
