[ESS] help pops up automatically in browser

I just realized that i send this to emacs-help instead of (as i 
intended) ess-help (so sorry for cross posting):

Dear Ess users,


i have recently updated to ESS 12.09-2. Now, as soon as I type any 
command in the console (or in a R script), a browser starts (after few 
seconds), displaying the respective html help page of that command. No 
idea whether this is caused by the updated ess version or by the 
autocomplete.el stuff that i installed recently.

Is there any way to switch this behaviour off? Or, better, bind it to a 
special key?

My .emacs is attached below.


Thanks a lot
Jannis
