Thanks Simon and Duncan.
I found the same plugins and removed them. It works correctly in the R.app.
RStudio still directs me to a browser window at the localhost address 127.0.0.1
and nothing loads. I know RStudio is not R and this list is for R so will
probably have to search elsewhere for that solution unless anyone here happens
to have an idea.
