Works for me using firefox and zim 0.28. Most likely cause is that because
the path has spaces in it, you need to quote it. So try putting

  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

in the preferences instead.

(Yes, I realize this is non-obvious -- new release will have much more
friendly interface - and use system default out of the box.)

If this does not fix the issue, you can use the attached script to start zim
in debug mode (assuming you used the windows installer). Put it in the zim
application directory and rename to .com (so remove the .txt) then double
click it.
