- Under the Solution Explorer, right-click on any ASPX file and select "Browse With..."
- Click "Add..."
- Click "..."
- Find "firefox.exe" and click "Open"
- Click "OK"
- Make sure Firefox is selected under "Browsers" and click "Set as Default". Close the dialog.
Done! Now when you debug your ASP.NET apps, they'll launch in Firefox rather than Internet Explorer.

Thanks very much. It's so helpful for me. BTW, have you ever met this case: when use ASP.NET Configuration (Website -> ASP.NET Configuration), the error message is appeared:
"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.". I've been looking for this problem on Internet but there's no result which makes me satisfy. Can you help me solve this problem? Thanks again.
No, I haven't run into that problem. I always edit my config files manually anyway.
I really can't offer any advice other than "google it". Sorry! :-)
By Accident
1. Open Solution in VS 2008
2. Mark Debug Point (C#/VB.NET)
3. Run website - by default page open in IE
4. Copy the page URL
5. Open FireFox
6. Paste URL
7. You debug page in FF
(My page has updatePanel control)
For quick debugging try this..
Add Debugger.Break() into your code at an appropriate place.
Browse to the page in firefox (via localhost) if on local dev machine? and the Visual Studio Just in Time debugger should pop up.. select the currently open instance of Visual Studio and you can step into the code where every you want without having to start from the beginning or jumping to cursor.
