Hi, after a few months, I still have this problem, though the symptoms
changed somewhat. Now, if I click on either the Help >> wxMaxima help
menu, or the Help >> Maxima help menu, wxMaxima simply terminates, and
the word "Aborted" is dumped to stderr.

Message #13 received at 39955 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hi all,
I saw this bug as I was updating WxMaxima today. It seems the issue is with
"filetype->GetOpenCommand()" function calls in src/wxMaxima.cpp (lines 3796 and
4078 specifically). These calls are used to find a browser that can open the
HTML help files. We could hard-code a browser (e.g., icecat) as a stopgap while
we debug the wxWidgets library to see what exactly is going wrong.
Thoughts?
