Debugging with specific browser in Visual Studio 2015 not possible anymore?

In Visual Studio 2013 it was possible to start debugging with a specific browser: enter image description here

I' missing this functionality in Visual Studio 2015

enter image description here

Is there somewhre an option to bring it back? (Browse with... starts the browser but doesn't start debugging)

UPDATE

It seems that the the browser selection is not gone (thanks Gregor for your answer), but however something wrong with my installation. I've tried to do a Reset (Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings) but that didn't help as well.

Anyone else having a solution how to bring the browser seletion back ?

UPDATE 2

It seems that the missing Items only affect Windows 7 (64bit?) Users. Can someone else confirm that?

UPDATE 3

If you have the same problem please report it to Microsoft here https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1599622/debugging-with-specific-browser-in-visual-studio-2015-not-possible-anymore

I just had a very similar issue.

Mine happened after I unloaded the web project, and it defaulted to a "non-web" project as the startup project.

In order to get the browsers back I did the following:

  1. Right click the web project
  2. Select "Set as startup project"

This should return the browsers to the debug options.
