NetBeans: browser error.

From within NetBeans 6.1, on the Start page, if I click "Web Apps" (or any of the tutorials ) , I get the error "Cannot execute /usr/bin/firefox. Check external browser configuration."

In Tools > Options, Web Browser is set to "/usr/bin/firefox", which is a logical pointing to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10, which is a logical pointing to /usr/lib/firefox.  All have World:Execute privs.

From any location, I AM able to execute the command
/usr/bin/firefox
(it starts FireFox 3.0 as expected, with no problem)

Does anyone know why I get the above error, and how to resolve it ?

Thx...
