Jirka, I was just about to report the same problem on Windows 10. It occurs if you select any browser option except *Embedded WebKit Browser* (which works fine). The stack trace is slightly different if you pick a specific browser such as Chrome of Firefox but the underlying problem is the same.
You can also see the same issue in several other ways: - Build a simple web project and run it when the *Web Browser* is not *Embedded WebKit Browser*. - In the editor place your cursor over any JDK method or class (e.g. *println()* or *System*), right click and select *Show Javadoc* from the popup menu. - In the *Projects* panel select some entry under *Libraries* (.e.g. *JDK 1.8*) or *Test Libraries* (e.g. JUnit 4.12), right click and select *Show Javadoc*. - In the *Projects* panel select some project node, right click and select *Generate Javadoc* from the popup menu. I suspect that any other actions in NetBeans that require opening a browser when it is not set to *Embedded WebKit Browser* will show similar failures.
