Description unai 2013-08-21 15:17:11 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201307092200 ]
[ JDK VERSION : <1.7.0_21 ]

Web browser TS:
1. Try to change web browser to all available options.
2. Open web browser from Window | Web | Web Browser. 
EXPECTED RESULT: www.netbeans.org should appear in all available browsers. Only
browsers which are present on your OS should be listed among options. 

Chrome and Firefox are listed even though they are not available in the system.
On Linux, also a Mozilla option is present.

When selecting those unavailable browsers, upon hitting Window | Web | Web
Browser, the following error dialog appears:
"Cannot execute firefox/mozilla/chrome Check external browser configuration."
on linux; while on Windows 7 I get
"Could not access URL through the external browser. Check the browser
configuration."
with both the firefox and chrome options.

On Windows Vista, the chrome setting opens up the firefox browser. (w/clean
userdir)

Thank you for reporting. Please file the issue with Vista and missing Chrome that opens Firefox as a separate issue to Ide/extbrowser.
