Not about Default Browser
Thanks for the hint, for me this wouldn't be about snagging the default browser, instead of Adobe's seeming insistance on using Internet Explorer to read their help files in. I have Camino as my default browser but when I open After Effects help it opens Internet Explorer, which I have on my computer only to test web sites (pretty useless now since it is no longer being developed).

Here's what'cha do.
As suggested, navigate to the help files inside of Illustrator's package. Illustrator's Help "index" page is called help.html. If you've not changed your directory structure or installed Illustrator elsewhere, it should be here: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator 10.0.3/Adobe Illustrator 10/
Get Info on that file and change it's Open With property from Explorer to whatever you'd like. I chose Safari.
Bingo! Illustrator's help now launches in Safari. AFAIK, you don't have to change any of the other files referenced in that folder, nor do you have to quit Illustrator while you're making this change. won

You can change the file's creator to nothing. OS X will use extension to determine which app to use and if your default browser is Safari then it'll open in Safari. You can use applescript to change a dropped file's creator to generic "????":
on open (iFiles)
tell application "Finder"
set iFiles to iFiles as alias
display dialog "are you sure you want to ¬
change file's type/creator to none?" ¬
buttons {"yes!", "no"} default button 1 ¬
with icon 2
if the button returned of the result is "yes!" then
set the creator type of iFiles to "????"
end if
end tell
end open
Save it as an application somewhere.
