Using Help menu items opens two browser windows

Description

When using any of the links in the help menu that open the web browser, two windows are opened. One window opens the correct website as it should. The second window goes to an invalid page and shows the url "http://%1/". Noticed this with 5.10.13 client.

What browser and OS?

I only get a single IE window on Vista (too bad it should be opening Firefox).

Replying to KSMarksPsych:

Windows XP, SP2. I use Portable Firefox normally but the client launches IE6.

Just to add a little more confusion, if there is already an existing IE window open then it opens a second window fine to the website without opening a third window with %1 in the URL. The 2nd window with the invalid URL only occurs when there are no IE windows open when clicking a link from the boinc help menu.
