SABnzbd tells the operating system to open the default browser.
Sounds more like something in the OS.

If that os uses the standard debian and ubuntu mechanisms, try sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser to set the default.

Same in Win XP. Would invoke the egregious IE that came with the system and which I never use, or an old version of Opera. Unfortunately, the old version of Opera did not display the top, menu bar of SABnzbd. It would not load the default browser, Opera 12.17. However, changing the default browser to Mozilla Firefox 35.0.1 did invoke that browser. Much ado about something that should be settable in a single line of an ini file.
