[R] R help in Firefox on Windows XP

[Erich Neuwirth]

Thank you Brian,
Installing 0.8 first and then upgrading solved the problem.
I noticed that installing 0.9 from scratch creates a registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla]
"CurrentVersion"="1.7"
Installing 0.8 creates
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla]
"CurrentVersion"="1.6"
and upgrading to 0.9 afterwards does not change this entry.

This might be the reason.
