I don't know what I changed but I used to be able to do C-x C-e b to
view the org file in a browser. Now it just generates the file but not
open the browser. Same with PDF.

get back the functionality? Thanks.

Assuming you meant =C-c C-e b=, this does not work for me either;
however, =C-c C-e d= does work and opens the PDF in docview. For
symmetry, I would have liked =b= to open my html in emacs w3m, I guess?

It still does work for me. Just tested it now, with:
Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.553.g83b7)

Why not. But, for me, this should be a consequence of Emacs preferences
regarding the browser to use when clicking on a link.
See `browse-url-browser-function' and `browse-url-generic-program', among
others.
Best regards,
Seb

As I mentioned, C-c C-e b works fine for me: Org-mode version 7.4
(release_7.4.530.g3c69).
The precise way it works however depends on whether you are
on a GNU system (default: use mailcap), MacOSX (use specific applications or
default "open") or Windows (use w32-shell-execute open). All cases are
funnelled through the org-open-file function though, so tracing that
should tell you what's broken. The relevant variables are org-file-apps
and org-file-apps-defaults-{gnu,macosx,windowsnt}.
In my case (Ubuntu 10.10), I get a default "mailcap" map which takes
"text/html" to the entry in the system /etc/mailcap:
"/usr/bin/sensible-browser", a shell script which eventually opens the
file in firefox.
As for opening it in emacs w3m, I don't know how to do that.

And it does not work for me with a later version of org mode!
Thanks for the explanation on how the browser to use is identified; I
know this already (although I must admit it was not the most
straightforward thing to figure out initially...). I have my settings
specified to use x-www-browser by default.
My point above was simply that the actual results are not symmetrical:
as C-c C-e d uses docview to show the PDF despite my mailcap etc
pointing to the use of apvlv for viewing PDF documents. I don't believe
I have set anything anywhere to tell org to use docview mode.
In any case, it's easy enough for me to open the PDF in Emacs w3m (C-c
C-e p followed by direct invocation of w3m).

It's one of the options for the browse-url options.
Thanks again,
eric
