Bug#361326: yelp opens external browser for displaying help files.

Package: yelp
Version: 2.12.2-4
Severity: normal

If I start yelp and select a help topic (e.g. Desktop->Accessibility
Guide) an external browers is opened (in my case firefox) which
displays the xml file as an xml tree or firefox simply displays an errror
message because it cannot parse the xml file (e.g User Guide).

This behaviour renders yelp completely useless.
