I run wxmaxima on ubunbtu 20.04. The help menu option calls up firefox (v 101.0.1 (64 bit)) to find the local on disk html files. However this brings up the error message:
File not found
Firefox can’t find the file at /usr/share/maxima/5.45.1/doc/html/maxima_singlepage.html#g_t_0025.
But this is a valid path with user access permissions and the file maxima_singlepage.html exists and has user read permissions.
So what is firefox doing in looking for this file?
I have used the ms windows 10 version of wxmaxima and the firefox help works perfectly.
