I’m running VS2010 SP1 and Azure 1.4 Tools on Windows 7 SP1. My system default web browser is Chrome. My Visual Studio default web browser is Firefox (right click on .aspx file – Browse with – set default).
When I hit CTRL+F5 (start without debugging), my cloud service web role starts in Chrome.
When I hit F5 (start with debugging), my cloud service web role opens two windows – one in Chrome, one in Firefox.
I tried devenv /resetsettings to no avail. How do I make VS honor its default?
Although this doesn’t make sense – it has fixed the problem on two out of two cases: enable the Silverlight debugger on the web project.
After ticking the Silverlight box, F5 and CTRL+F5 started behaving normally, respecting my Visual Studio default browser.
