Comment:

 Ah - as reported, of course! While I did change the code to use open,
 which will use the user's default browser, the installer runs as root.
 Hence, it opens with the root's default browser, which not surprisingly is
 Safari.

 I don't have a reasonable way to find the current user from within the
 installer -- a limitation of Apple's installer framework. Since I'm using
 Apple's installer framework's own "show this file to the user after
 install" mechanism, one can only hope they'll improve it. (I'll file a
 bug.)
