Quartus II 12.0 Software Linux no tutorials can be opened

Hi,

I just installed the Quartus II 12.0 software on my

Xubuntu 12.04 Linux system.

The USB Blaster and so on works fine.

But there is a problem with the tutorials in quartus 2 software!

I can't properly link quartus II to firefox or any other browser in order to be used for interactive tutorial and getting started tutorial e.g.?

In option -> internet connectivity I enterd this link to firefox

/usr/bin/firefox

but nothing happens when I try to to start a tutorial afterwards?

What am I doing wrong?

I put a bad path for the web browser and I got an internal error with the shutdown of Quartus.

And I think of another thing: my firefox under Ubuntu can't open a PDF, it returns the file to Acrobat Reader (because I didn't install a pdf plugin for firefox). See if firefox can open a pdf.

If these solutions don't work, put the path of the pdf reader of Xubuntu in the web browser field.

no it doesn't work even when I put my pdf reader (okular) path directly into quartus it does not work at all!

My workaround is :

some direct links to the folders respectively to the html-file to start video tutorial or pdf tutorial comfortably by clicking on desktop shortcuts!

The rest of quartus works fine afaik. So I can start work now or tomorrow because it's too hot here ;)
