Interesting Scott, The one issue I see is that I was considering putting all my TWs on Dropbox or a USB stick. Because of the problems associated with using TWs in the latest versions of FF, I was thinking of putting a portable FFv3.6 on the stick with the TWs. The problem is that, since the FFv3.6 has not been installed on any system I mount the USB stick on, the association you talk about will not be known (correct?).
An alternative is to create a standard script to do the association. For instance, create a .CMD file that automatically sends FFv3.6 the associated .HTML file (hopefully not starting a new FF instance). Done right, the CMD file could be generic and you'd just copy it to any new TW you create. Theoretically, this should be possible, but I'm more of a Unix/Linux person and, so, not quite sure how to do this in Windows and I'm not sure if standard Windows CMD files are capable of this.
