   No.  The problem is the batch filetype.   Its not an executable.   
      
   Also, firefox is not an OS, and it looks like it handles starting programs a   
   bit different than you are accustomed to.   
      
   Herbert gave you two about:config entry names.  Remove the last part to see   
   the other settings in that group.  It might give you an idea (it did for   
   me).

   You're welcome.

   Thats *way* to complex for testing.   I would start with a new batchfile and   
   put something in it you know will always work.  Perhaps just "echo I'm   
   here", or better yet :"pause". Maybe even both, in that order.   
      
   And, if you have not already done so, do test if if the batchfile works when   
   started from th commandline.
