HTML VI Help and Firefox bug
I'm seeing the same thing, sort of.
I get varied results depending on where the .html file is located. Sometimes I get the correct file, sometimes it's a page from ni.com. I have not figured out the difference yet.
One thing I did notice is that I only get the extra blank tab if FireFox is not yet open. If it's open, I seem to get just the correct page, and the command line does have the bar separator.
I have not yet seen it return an unrelated page from the web containig the string of the filename.
So far I've only tried it from my local hard drive and not a network drive (guessing Y: is a mapped network drive). I'll try that and see if it makes a difference.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
You should be able to link directly to an inpage anchor using a URL of
"filename.htm#anchor" like this one from a site my wife built and
maintains.

I have not found anything significant on the FireFox issue yet. I'm getting the random pages related something in the path, but not the filename if there is a space somewhere in the path. If there's no space, it tries to load the filename as a URL.
This is on WinXP Prp SP2, LabVIEW 7.1.1 and FireFox 1.0.4 English version.

When the correct page loads, the URL shows up in the address with %20 for spaces already.
For some reason when the browser isn't yet loaded, it doesn't handle it correctly.

I guess I should have tried that before I posted it.
One thing that might work would be to create a separte .htm file that uses the Refresh tag to send it to the inpage anchor. All you would need is a simple page containing the following.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=path-filename.htm#anchor">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I haven't tried this, but it seems it should work. The content=0 in the above line is the delay in seconds before it is sent to URL at the end of the line, so a 0 will send it right away.
Hope that does it.
