Hi,
The error still occurs in Netbeans6.0.1 suse10.3
And if I look "Server and External Tool Settings" item, I don't have " Web Browsers-> Firefox" field, as you can see on picture
So how can I do?

http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=nbusers&msgNo=94594 Assuming /usr/bin/firefox does start firefox (it does for me on OpenSuSE
10.2), what argument list is specified in
Tools->Options-> Advanced Options-> IDE Configuration->
Server and External Tool Settings-> Web Browsers-> Firefox entry?
It had -remote "openURL{{URL}}"
Trimmed it to {URL} and it worked just fine.
It should be -remote "openURL({URL})"
