How are the help files handled? gnucash uses yelp, which needs mozilla, seamonkey, or firefox to display the help. That could be where the firefox

Couldn't yelp use a generic command to open files in a browser, so
that the Aqua version of Firefox can be used for instance?

Yelp needs a Gecko engine from somewhere that will render in an X window.

BTW, yelp doesn't depend on firefox/iceweasel under Debian. It depends
on libxul0d, which could mean that it is just a XUL application, but
this is definitely not Firefox.

The Mozilla developers have been pretty emphatic about not supporting their products on X Windows on Mac OS X. Firefox is the only Gecko platform we push that does X Windows...
