Brian,
open will call whatever program is defined for a certain extension.
You can
set this with a plug in to System Preferences called Default Apps for
example.
So on my Mac(s) Firefox is the default.

If firefox is involved on a Mac, that is one difference. My Mac is
using 'open' (the default, I believe) and that is calling Safari

Yes, it would be the job of browseURL to encode URLs where
required. But at least on Windows and using the -remoteURL
mechanism (as on Linux) it is not. R itself does have URLencode.

As Prof. Ripley noted, try using debug(RSiteSearch) and then step
through the code to see where $HOME is being added to the URL
variable.
That can help pin it down further. If the URL is not corrupted by
the
time browseURL() is called, then use debug(browseURL) to trace
within
that function to see if something is happening there.
