When I use the Help command on Windows, Enso crashes with the following
stack trace:

This shouldn't be hard to fix, I'll take care of it.

For some strange reason, webbrowser.open() opens the URL correctly, but after this it throws exception "File not found", crashing Enso.
try/catch around webbrowser.open() solves that.

I am not sure whether this behaviour is only on my box due to atypical browsers setup (not using FF, but K-Meleon instead) ?

I run FF at work, same crash.
