If you are creating a UI app, use:

fx.ShowExternalDocument("http://buttdroid.itch.io/unreal-tournament-2004-cache-extractor")

If you are creating a non-UI app, you have to use the jAWTRobot library and call

robot.SystemOpenAddressInBrowser("http://buttdroid.itch.io/unreal-tournament-2004-cache-extractor")

It's not just for browser functions. It will open any external file with the system's default application for that file type.
jAWTRobot's

robot.SystemOpenExternalFile(File.Combine(File.DirApp, "hello.txt"))

will do the same in non-UI apps.
