Build Identifier: All up to 3.6 If no browser can be found, the UI falls back to StyledText. The result looks like the JavaDoc and similar views are severely broken. Can you please add "No browser found; falling back to StyledText" to all such views. It should be a link pointing to "http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure Eclipse can't find XULRunner 2. Open the JavaDocs for java.util.regex.Pattern
We once had it but without hints how to fix the browser issue, see bug 73558.

It should be a link pointing to > "http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux" If a user can't / doesn't want to make a browser available on his system, he should still be able to work with the fallback (which works fine for simple Javadoc hovers). Forcing such users to skip this message in every Javadoc hover is too intrusive. If we do something, then the user should be able to remove the message.
In that case, popup a dialog where they can choose to copy the link to the clipboard (so they can visit the page) or to disable the warning (like the "Always run in background" dialogs).
