If I start as ordinary user rose R and help.start(), the help is displayed in
emacs. If I do as the user root, file:///tmp/Rtmpyzlc7Y/.R/doc/html/index.html
is shown as expected in a firefox windows. So it seems to be connected with my
private configuration. But I can not find such a configurations:
So why report this as a bug in R (especially without reading the help
pages concerned)?
help.start uses R_BROWSER to select the browser in use via browseURL: see
the help for help.start and browseURL. Check options("browser") in each
of the accounts.
Another thing you have not told us is how you installed R: the default for
R_BROWSER is set at install time in R_HOME/etc/Renviron. However, as it
works correctly for 'root', I guess it is your account that has some
setting of the browser to be used.

I also tried to start R with strace:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/rose(119)$ strace -f -o R_strace.log R
and greped for mime:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/rose(120)$ grep "open.*rose.*mime" R_strace.log
7221 open("/home/rose/.local/share//mime/mime.cache", O_RDONLY) = 14
7221 open("/home/rose/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache", O_RDONLY) =
14
7221 open("/home/rose/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list", O_RDONLY) = 14
7223 open("/home/rose/.local/share//mime/mime.cache", O_RDONLY) = 7
and then I searched for emacs in these files:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/rose(121)$ for f in
/home/rose/.local/share//mime/mime.cache
/home/rose/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
/home/rose/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
/home/rose/.local/share//mime/mime.cache; do echo "-- f=$f
--"; grep emacs $f ; done
-- f=/home/rose/.local/share//mime/mime.cache --
-- f=/home/rose/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
--
application/x-x509-ca-cert=emacs-21-usercustom.desktop
-- f=/home/rose/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
--
-- f=/home/rose/.local/share//mime/mime.cache --
But I could not find anything suspicious
