External Browser Command for MAC

Hello everyone.
I'm brand new to using jEdit and have been slowly but surely setting things up. I recently ran into an issue trying to setup my InfoViewer plugin
to call an external browser (firefox) for my Maya Editor Display Docs menu item. I'm on a mac and have looked for examples both here and randomly
on the internet, but haven't seen anything that can help.
I open up jEdit, go to Plugins, choose Plugin Options, switch my browser options to External Browser and for the External Browser Command I type in the
path to where the firefox application lives - Macintosh HD/Applications/Firefox.app. When I go to Plugins >> Maya Editor >> Display Docs I keep getting
this following error or some variation thereof.
------------------
An Exception occured while starting the browser:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "Macintosh": error=2, No such file or directory
The command was:
Macintosh
HD/Applications/Firefox.app
file:/Macintosh HD/Applications/Autodesk/maya2011/docs/Maya2011/en_US/Commands/null.html
------------------
Maybe I'm not putting in the proper path naming convention for mac or something, but If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
