Yes.

Check installed-chrome.txt.

Same for me. That's why I suggested to use a normal disk file path, e.g.
mozilla.exe -chrome file://c:\mindcast\chrome\doc\index.html
Why don't you use that? It works with the build I sent you / uploaded.

Yes.

Wait, do you want to launch the *browser*, i.e. Navigator, with a
default page?
I think, you want to launch Mozilla with a document, specified at the
commandline, as chrome. Yes, would work, assuming you registered the jar
file correctly and use the right path.
If you really want to use jar files, there is another way tp access
them: You can specify the url of the jar file, plus "!", plus the
relative path of the doc inside the jar/zip file, e.g.
"file://c|/mindcast/chrome/doc.jar!doc/index.html"
(or similar).
Do you need to worry about disk space?
