Hi there :-)

I would love to use mIRC and FireFox as Portable-Version.

I allready installed FireFox as Portable-Version. Now, when im clicking a Link in mIRC, Internet-Explorer poping up (naturally, cause its now the default Browser on my OS).

My Question is:
How to tell mIRC, to use my Portable FireFox and not the Default-OS-Browser?


Thanks in Advance!

To my knowledge, you'd have to set your Portable installation of Firefox as the default browser.
There might be a scripting method of getting around this, but if there is then it's currently outside of my knowledge.

You can use:

/run firefox.exe http://www.google.com

Combine that with some hotlink scripting and you might be able to make the links clickable and have them take you to the right browser.

Note that because firefox is in portable mode, you'll probably have to provide a path for it (include quotes around the path/filename if there are spaces in it).
