A:
Have a look in the Options, under Help / Online.
There you can select - try online first, then local
And you can select multiple providers to search in.

still what he says is right. You can set the option search online only and it'd pop up firefox with the search, provided it is your default provider.

You can specify in VS.NET that the internal help viewer should be used instead of the external one, which is maybe a bit faster.

It still opens up Microsoft Document Explorer and i don't see how to change that.
