wrong preview or viewer URL when using BiRT Designer on Linux

Hello,
 
i'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on Virtual Box with the Birt-Designer 4.5.0 32Bit.
 
When i choose the option to view the report as PDF my Browser(Firefox) opens the following URL:
file:///home/limux/share/d-report/eclipse/http:/127.0.0.1:53682/viewer/preview%3F__report=%252Fhome%252Flimux%252Fshare%252Fd-report%252Fwork%252Fbericht_in_arbeit.rptdesign&__format=pdf&__svg=true&__locale=de_DE&__timezone=Libya&__masterpage=true&__rtl=false&__cubememsize=10&__resourceFolder=%252Fhome%252Flimux%252Fshare%252Fd-report%252Fwork&__dpi=96&__emitterid=org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pdf&-650229296
 
This URL is wrong.
the first part 'file:///home/limux/share/d-report/eclipse/' should not be there and the encoding is wrong to. If i delete the first part and replace '%3F' with '?' and all occurences of '%252F' with '/' than the url is correct and the PDF is gerenated.
 
Can i configure this URL somewhere?

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.5 Desktop 32-bit running in a VirualBox (with no OS updates with English locale), Guest Additions to increase the display resolution, and OpenJDK7, and downloaded OS BIRT All in One Designer 4.5.0 32- bit. Then, restarted to change the display resolution, launched Eclipse, created a new Report Project and a very simple report design. Finally, was able to preview both the HTML and PDF in the default browser (Firefox).
 
To verify, your environment...
<ol><li>Do you see the same problem with any of the other formats (Web Viewer, HTML, Excel, etc...) ?</li>
<li>What version of JDK/JRE are you using?</li>
<li>Is Eclipse located @ /home/limux/share/d-report/eclipse?</li>
<li>Is your workspace located @ /home/limux/share/d-report/work?</li>
<li>Do you have a Report Project in your workspace?</li>
<li>In your Eclipse menu option, Window > Preferences > General > Web Browser, what are the options selected?</li>
<li>In your Eclipse menu option, Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections, what are the options selected, if any?</li>
<li>Did you change any settings in "eclipse.ini"?</li>
</ol> 
As a troubleshooting step, if you downloaded the All in One Designer again, and extracted it into a different location, does that have any affect?

Problem solved.
Changing the browser settings in eclipse to external browser and checking the checkbox before Firefox instead of 'system default browser' solved this issue.
