Exception Error Launching Default Browser "Firefox"

Hi,

My application has a Toolstrip with a Help button which launches a htm help file.
It works fine when the system's default browser is IE.
When Firefox is set as default, the application complains with an exection error:

************** Exception Text **************
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Line 352 reads:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Sneaky.htm", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)

Maybe I should create the help file in another format instead like pdf.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eddie
