That is probably caused by a bad entry in your mimetypes file. The "Others 
browser" tries to determine, if a file is a tet file, by checking it's 
mimetype. If it starts with "text/" it is opened in the browser. You have two 
possible solutions to cure it. If it is not a text file, it will be opened 
with the default application (which might not be assigned).

1. Correct the mimetypes file and add an entry associating .js files with 
text/javascript (or something similiar).
2. Associate .js files with file type "Sources". This can be done via the 
Project menu. The net result would be, that all .js files will be listed by 
the "Sources Browser".
