My default browser is Chrome but I want to use Firefox Developer as my browser in Visual Studio 2019 Community edition on web pages I am working on. The HTML menu has "View in browser (Google Chrome)" and I cannot find any option to change this. Searched Microsoft and found nothing pertinent. Stackoverflow has only two related posts, one discusses toggling between Chrome and IE but couldn't see how they did it.
I expect this to be a head-slapper, but I'm stuck. TIA!
I believe all you have to do is download the firefox developer edition and set it as your default browser. Do this and if you have Visual Studio running, close it and reopen. It should be found under the IIS Express dropdown menu where you select the web browser. You may not have to have firefox dev edition set as your default browser but that is what I have running on my end and it works correctly.

When I start a project (with or without debugging) in Visual Studio 2017, I get the error: google chrome is unresponsive. relaunch now?
I have disabled the Javascript debugging for .NET, but that hasn't helped.
Any suggestions?
Though it is an old link but I think I should answer this. I also encountered this weird error sometime back. I think it is related to IIS. Once you have started IIS along with visual studio this error springs up. Try closing the IIS,Chrome and restart visual studio. It will disappear.
Launch Chrome manually
Click on the three dots on the top right hand corner of the browser
Go down to Help->About Google Chrome. The About screen will display
Close Chrome and try again
It worked or me. Strange, but it worked.
I use ASP.Net/MVC (.Net Framework 4.5) to program a Sharepoint 2013 Provider hosted app. If I press F5 to test my application I have no problem with the rendered result.
But if I deploy it onto my iis server and install the package on sharepoint 2013 the html will not be rendered correctly.
The funny thing is that it will still render correctly on any other major browser (Firefox, Opera, Chrome). Since my company uses only ie (people don't have any rights to install additional software) I need to have it render correctly on ie.
Since I found the answer to my own question I want to share it here so if anyone hits the same problem he/she can make use of the answer.
It was a problem with Internet Explorer 11's "Compatibility View settings". I had to uncheck the "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" checkbox to render the HTML correctly.
When I run my web application in Visual Studio 2012 it opens the website as I would expect in the most recently active window of Chrome that is open. This is all fine and how it has worked for as long as I have been using Chrome as my default browser for debugging in Visual Studio (all versions).
However, it has recently started also opening another completely new window of Chrome with a blank tab over the top of the existing Chrome window as well. I now close this blank window and find my running website in the Chrome window behind it.
I am not sure if this was as a result of an update to Chrome (I think so) or Visual Studio (less likely).
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? More importantly does any know how to solve it as it is becoming very annoying?
After I add "Google Chrome" using "Browse With.." in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, it dissappears from the list of browsers almost right away, although browsers like Firefox remain in the list. I was thinking that it might be due to the default installation location of Google Chrome in Windows, anybody have any ideas?
I submitted a bug report to Microsoft and they fixed the problem for me.
Here is the link.
Here's an easy question. How do I configure Visual Studio 2008 to build my webpage in a certain browser? I really want to build in all 5 well-known browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari), but right now I am having to right click the actual html files and open them in different browsers. In dreamweaver, there is a simple dropdownlist for this...what does visual studio have?
Firsty, you don't build your site for each different web browser. You build one website that's standards-compliant and will work in all browsers.
Having said that, you will probably have to use some non-standard "hacks" to get Internet Explorer to behave as the other browsers do because older versions of IE don't follow web standards.
You should setup your website in IIS using IIS Manager. Then you can run your website in whatever browser you like using a URL like http://localhost/YourWebsite/
Here's an article on creating a website in IIS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323972
Alternatively if you want to use the web server that's built into Visual Studio you can right-click one of the pages in your project, select Browse with.. and use the Browse With dialog to set the default browser. Once you've done this you can run your site in the default browser by pressing F5.
See this page for switching the default browser. As far as a dropdown to easily switch like Dreamweaver, there may be a plugin.
Right Click on an Aspx page, choose "Browse With...", and set Firefox as Default.
I like the site browsershots.org, submit your URL and it shows how it looks in different browsers on different operating systems. After a minute or 2 I got back 42 different shots.... good to know I look good on FireFox 3.0.4 on MAC OS X 10.6 :).
