I mean the one that opens in your browser. Third entry under "Equipment" in the sim menu.
ahhh, ok... that may be something completely different...
well, that change only affects the VFRMap.com URLs used in the Phi map overlays...
so looking at FGDATA/gui/menubar.xml, we see that the external browser option is called "map-browser" and that it uses nasal to
- check if the FG web server is running
and - load the external browser and point it to localhost on the port that the server is running on...
assuming you are on windows, the first thing to check is if your firewall or some other security tool is allowing or blocking localhost connections...
you should also be able to test this by not using that menu bar option, simply opening your browser while FG is running, and pointing it to http://localhost:port#/ where "port#" is the port you specified in your --http=xxxxx configuration line... eg: --http=8080 would use http://localhost:8080/ in the browser...
and that brings up another possible problem... if your browser or some other security tool is trying to enforce https everywhere... i don't think the FG web server can even do https so check your browser is also not trying to force https...

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
