1. Go to Tools | Options In the Web Browser combo, there is the "External Browser (command-line)" item, which is quite useless, because: - All the main browsers are (or should be) detected and displayed out of the box - Any additional exotic browser that is not supported out of the box can be added using Edit -> Add. So, this item should be removed, as it only confuses the user experience.
Taking over, will try to do that.
Petře, I just found out that this "browser" is: > Present on Non-Windows, Non-Unix platforms, like OS_2, Mac OS I can confirm that I do not see this "browser" on Linux. So, should I remove it completely or only for Mac? I would vote for complete removal (though I do not know OS 2). Thanks.
Thinking about it a bit more, complete removal would be likely wrong. I have removed it from Mac only, please verify if it works. Thanks. http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/1e6c4a2331c4
