Hi,

I am using eclipse's standard "Help" action to show the product related
help doc's(basically the HTML pages). However the Help action opens up
mozilla browser to show the HTML pages. How can I change this to use
firefox browser instead of mozilla ? Is there any default browser
settings which RCP application uses and I need to change it? Aren't
there any API provided, so that I can ask "Help" action to use browser
of users choice (firefox in my case) ?

Any pointer on this ?

Regards,
Swapnil

On linux:

If you can't open the internal browser (which really just depends on
where it can get it's libgtkembedmoz.so from), then by default it tries
netscape and then mozilla. In 3.3 I believe we're changing the order to
firefox, mozilla, netscape. It's not user configurable.
