Works as expected here. In 3.12.4 as well as 3.13AE. No matter if I use
the lookup from the QSO window and click on the QRZ icon or right click
from the receive text. It just works.

In Linux you can set the default browser, but I've not a clue how you do
it in M$ and that may be part of the problem. I know when we first
started testing the look up feature it had problems with determining the
default browser.
