I don't like the iexplore path editing. Can't we simply use "iexplore.exe"? It should always be on path.
I don't know what is returned by BrowserManager.getCurrentWebBrowser(). It will return browser selected by user, yes?
I also don't understand this change:

+		} else {
+			if ((style & IWorkbenchBrowserSupport.AS_VIEW) != 0)
+				webBrowser = new InternalBrowserViewInstance(browserId, style,
+						name, tooltip);
+			else
+				webBrowser = new InternalBrowserEditorInstance(browserId,
+						style, name, tooltip);
+		}

does it mean that in some circumstances, the Platform's internal browser will be used?
