Build ID: MPC 1.0.0 (Helios)

On some Linux hosts, XULRunner is not available as the internal Browser (for instance running a 32-bit Eclipse on x86_64 Ubuntu). When I retrieve a listing and then press the (i) icon to get "More Info" on such a host, an Error Dialog pops up:

   Unhandled event loop exception
   XPCOM error -2147467259

and I see a dialog that suggests closing Workbench.

Expected behavior:
------------------
Fall back to using an external browser when the internal one is not available.

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
On any Linux host, launch 
   eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null
use the MPC client and click the (i) button.

Importance:
-----------
The user experience of seeing such a fatal error dialog is very bad. The fatal error dialog should be avoided.
