Maybe there is a system property that specifies which browser to use and
that's not being found. Maybe you could start up a runtime workspace
and set a breakpoint in the code that's throwing this exception to learn
more... I wonder if a fresh install of Eclipse with nothing else
installed even has this problem?

I don't know much about it. Maybe someone else knows... Are there any
logged problems in the installation that's failing?
