I’m a big fan of Firefox. So it’s the default browser on every machine I have access to. Unfortunately, Visual Studio 2005 didn’t continue using IE as the default like Visual Studio 2003 did. Even changing the default browser back to IE (yuck) didn’t fix the problem. This morning, I finally googled for a fix.

The steps are these:

  1. Open any web project.
  2. Right-click on any aspx page.
  3. Choose "Browse with ..."
  4. Click on Microsoft Internet Explorer
  5. Press the "Set as Default" button
Not terribly intuitive, but it works. Here are the top few links Google returned that described this solution:
