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.


I just ran into this same issue. In my case it was a feature.... I am working in a SharePoint App project. See the included screen shot to see where to change the browser.enter image description here


Its still there:

Start with Browser in VS 2015

with VS2015 Enterprise.

I see it in the "Standard" Toolbar, when I have loaded a Web-Solution. Not sure, which part is missing...

Use WebProject and compile as Debug: enter image description here

I checked on clean Windows 7, 64bit Professional with all Updates. I installed VS 2015 Enterprise default Install. After this, I had only the "Start"-Option, no other browser available.

Then I installed Firefox 32 bit from mozilla.org, boom it is "still there" Start with Browser in VS 2015

I can select Firefox Or Internet Explorer.

I can not reproduce your problem, try reinstall your browser. I set firefox to default during Installation.


If you running into the same problems as me, try the follwoing:

Select Browse with... and then set another browser als default. Afterwards the "Start" gets replaced with the specific Browser Name and all Browsers are available. enter image description here enter image description here
