I tried changing the setting to Chromium, which I don't have, and then
Midori which is installed. In both cases it open help in Firefox.

I'll try installing Chromium and try again if anyone thinks it is worth
testing. Won't be for a day or 2 though.

This isn't an important problem just thought I'd report it. It happens on 2
systems with different configurations so I don't think it is a config issue
but I might try testing with a new user too.
