You have to set Firefox 3 as your default browser.

Make sure the BROWSER environment variable is set correctly. That's how BOINC identifies the default browser.

FF itself controls the default condition in the starting phase...( and send a message if
it is not in the default status ).

Thanks it works.
This is the path to rather the default browser....
I'd written it before in .basrc and it worked when "firefox" was written on a terminal ....
but it was not enough in this case.
Thanks again.
