How do I keep VS from opening a new tab in Firefox every time I hit F5 to debug a web application? I would really like it to re-use the same tab.

This may not work for you but, in a project's properties on the Web tab there is a setting described as "Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application." All the developers at my company have this set and then just use bookmarks to load our pages.

  • Cool, I think that is about as close as I can get right now. Just have to look up the port VS assigns and your set. Not perfect, but its a lot closer. – mxmissile Oct 29 '08 at 19:20
  • Yeah, I didn't think about that. We run IIS on each workstation and have the virtual directory point to our development path. So the port isn't a problem for us. – Jeremy Bade Oct 29 '08 at 19:28
  • Yeah, if it's run on a development system, just pick the directory it's running. Great idea +1. – thismat Oct 29 '08 at 20:36

    Update: If you are using the dev server, just right click on the tray icon and click "Open in Browser". No port lookups. :-) – mxmissile Oct 30 '08 at 16:26
