Running R 4.0.1 on RStudio 1.3.959, on Windows 10 18363.720
When I run browseVignettes("broom") in the Rstudio console nothing happens. When I do it in the Powershell terminal both in and out of Rstudio the vignettes pop up. It never happens when I run an example script that calls browseVignettes. Guessing it't not working from a sourced file is a feature, but not sure why it won't work in Rstudio itself.
Try with the latest preview version

### System details
RStudio Edition : Desktop
RStudio Version : 1.3.1023-1 Preview
OS Version : Win 10
R Version : 4.0.1
### Steps to reproduce the problem
Run functions (see below) that have to open HTML output in a browser:
```r
browseVignettes("grid")
```
Or
```r
if (!require("exams")) install.packages("exams")
exams::exams2html("tstat")
```
### Describe the problem in detail
Nothing happens. The functions should open HTML output in a browser, but hey do not in RStudio 1.3. When I roll back to RStudio 1.2, this issue does not persist.
### Describe the behavior you expected
In RStudio 1.3 functions should work (give the same results) as they do in RStudio 1.2.
