origional message

Hi all,

I am going to set Mozila fire fox as my default web browser to .net applications. The problem is that the application keep on running mode even I close the browser window. Its not the same with IE.

For certain reasons I have to use Fire Fox instead of IE

Is there any way to close the application (stop) when the Firefox window is closed (not by explicitly hitting the stop button on the project window)

Answer 1

If you are using the built-in web server in VS then you can kill it by right-clicking the icon in the system tray. Not sure if that is what you mean?

Answer 2

You might need to look into extensibility model for VS 2010?

There might be a way to customize launch connection to browser.

Or Possibly Build a FireFox Plug in that interacts with VS the same way IE does.

I really have no idea... just thought i would throw some areas i would start looking into~

Good Luck~

Configure you Web Application project's Start Action to "Start external program", point it to firefox, set command line arguments to your site. E.g.

Start external program: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Command line arguments: http://localhost:8888/

Does this fit your needs?
