The browser in use does need to be able to connect to the loopback

The Firefox configuration/preference dialogs are similar across OSs,
albeit on OSX they are at the top of the display rather than on the
Firefox application window frame as on other OSs. Here is link to the
Mozilla support site:

Marc,
Thanks for the tips on where to find it in 'help'. I wouldn't have thought of
looking under startDynamicHelp, as I already knew the server was starting up OK.
Also, that advice about proxies doesn't actually appear in the help for
tools::startDynamicHelp in my version (2.10.0 (2009-10-26)); maybe it was added
or removed recently??
