The OS is the important bit here -- once that's determined, then she
should look at the list of processes and see if there's some process
stuck.

FWIW, this is what DrScheme does on the different platforms:

* On Windows it uses a standard Windows facility to start a browser at
  a given place, which is similar to entering a url in the "Run"
  dialog.

* On OSX it uses some standard OSX script that starts a browser at a
  URL.

* On Linux it runs a process -- one from several that can be set in
  the preferences.
