Off to a bad start with Xi ;(

I started the tutorial and received this error message on the Mac version.

You can configure the browsers invoked by Ebase Xi: in the designer, click File -> Preferences -> Form Options. You can configure paths to the browser, set default etc. Not sure why it's not working out of the box.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I've amended the firefox entry as you suggest but now get the response:
Cannot run program "Applications/Firefox.app"; error=13, Permission denied

You can't just select firefox from the applications folder, you need to configure the full path to the firefox executable. On my system this is:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
Googgle seems to suggest that it's:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
