Description alex_pst 2009-10-05 10:43:01 UTC 
When user wants to define some web browser and does it in IDE Options dialog (General tab). Using button Browse is useless because user can select only 
".app" folder, for example /Applications.Firefox.app. But it;s not enough to run application. Filter in Open dialog should be changed.

It works for me in NetBeans 6.8. All files are shown in file chooser.
Comment 2 alex_pst 2009-11-09 06:57:01 UTC 
Not able to set custom Web browser even in NB 6.7.1. It's impossible to browse to navigate to /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox using Browse dialog. If this problem was fixed in NB 6.8, please close issue as Fixed. WORKSFORME looks strange especially when NB 6.8 in Beta state.
