Thanks Elfnor, It is useful. This is a helpful tip as even with Microsoft's cryptic and overlapping knowledge based articles, I can not see the content inside the CHM files since a "security patch" stopped it working.
However this plugin gets around that problem and I can review the CHM file in firefox, great thanks. I do note, however, that inside a page of the CHM the internal links, a hyperlink to an anchor in the page does not work, one needs to look for it manually. I am using portable firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/ 2008052906 Firefox/3.0 But don't think this is an issue. Does it happen for you as well ? have you a fix. PS It's is great to be able to link into a location of a CHM file from a tiddler, good work letting us know.
