And when I open PD again, the preferences seems to be saved, but the path is not available in the browser.

Thanks for the report.

This was slightly broken and I believe it's fixed now, just not in a test release yet. If you want to try, you can copy the update to the helpbrowser GUI script wit the following steps:

1. close Pd

2. right click on the Pd.app (probably in /Applications) & choose "Open package contents"

3. navigate to Contents / Resources / tcl

4. open helpbrowser.tcl in a text editor (TetxEdit is fine) & replace all of it's contents with the updated file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pure-data/pure-data/4ceebf8ba41acdc2359435ffdfa2ea16f0de51cb/tcl/helpbrowser.tcl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pure-data/pure-data/4ceebf8ba41acdc2359435ffdfa2ea16f0de51cb/tcl/helpbrowser.tcl>

5. save the file, open Pd & test
