Changing the default web browser

Flex Builder uses the system default web browser when running and debugging applications. While you can't set each launch configuration to use a specific web browser, you can change the workbench web browser setting, which affects how all of your applications are run and debugged.

To change the default web browser:

1. From the main menu, select Window > Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog box appears.

2. Select the General > Editors > Web Browser preferences page.

   
   
   

3. Select a web browser from the list of web browsers installed on your system.

   NOTE

   The Use internal Web browser option does not apply to running and debugging applications. Applications are always run and debugged in an external web browser.

   You can also add, edit, and remove browsers from the list.

4. Click OK to apply your changes.
