There is no setting in ADS which controls which webbrowser is started. Windows just starts the default browser.
This document describes how to make either Netscape or Internet Explorer the default web browser in Windows:

I'm not sure how it exactly works on UNIX but I think the mechanism is similar.

On Unix, ADS looks for a running Netscape browser and then displays to it. If Netscape is not running, the $HPEESOF_DIR/bin/netscape-start script is executed.
The netscape-start script can be modified to suit your particular environment.
