Customize the "Open in FF" button?

Hi, I have used the open in firefox button in opera in the past and it has come in handy for those pages i can't get to work in Opera but I recently setup ff (ff portable to be precise) in one of my dropbox folders which seems to break the open in ff button. I tried adding the path to FF in the button properties but that didn't work. So now when i try to open an opera page in FF it gives me:

Invalid address
You tried to access the address opera:/button/Execute%20program,%22firefox%22,%22%25u%22,,%22Firefox%22, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

Any ideas how i can modify "opera:/button/Execute%20program,%22firefox%22,%22%25u%22,,%22Firefox%22" to work with the firefox portable setup i have? Any suggestions would really be appricated!

Cheers,

-Gaiko

What I do is add the directory to the enviroment PATH..

In Windows 7 -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> System variables -> Edit Path to include the path to your Firefox installation.

For example you add

;z:\portable programs\firefox.exe

at the very end.
