Change Visual Studio Default Browser in an ASP.NET MVC project

Question

Firefox is set as Windows' default browser.

I want to change the default browser used by Visual Studio for debugging. Normally the route I'd take to do this is right clicking on an .aspx file and setting the default from the Browse With... dialog.

Unfortunately, ASP.NET MVC Views don't have the Browse With... option.

In what other ways can you set the default browser for ASP.NET MVC projects?

Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer

Answer 1

For MVC1:

• there is a default.aspx just right click on the page and select browse with and a dialog pops out for you to set your default browser.

For MVC2:

• we need to trick the project a little bit. There are 2 ways
  1.) You can add default.aspx on the project, just right click on the project and add a new item then select MVC 2 view page and then name it default.aspx and there you can right click it and do the same steps on changing the default browser for mvc1.
  
  2.) You can add an html page anywhere within the project and after adding it just right click and select browse with and just do the same steps on changing the default browser for mvc1.

For VS2010:

• You can try this extension. It is safe, hopefully this will be added in the next releases of Visual Studio.

Answer 2

There appears to be an answer here

If you right click on any page other than default.aspx you will not get the "browse with" option.

So, when working on an ASP.NET MVC application, right click on default.aspx and chose "Browse With..." Then you'll get a dialog that will allow you to change your default browser.
