Thanks for the report, unfortunately I can't reproduce it. When I open help in arduino from a clean wheezy install, iceweasel opens the file properly. Could you check ~/.arduino/preferences.txt for the line that says "launcher"? It should say "launcher=xdg-open". The help is opened using xdg-open, so it's possible that your xdg-open is looking for firefox. Try manually opening the file xdg-open file:///usr/share/arduino/reference/index.html If that doesn't work, then something is misconfigured with your xdg-open. If you're missing xdg-open, then arduino should at least recommend the xdg-utils package (I thought it was pulled in with the desktop, maybe I was wrong...)
