How do I set up VS Code Live Server extension to use Firefox Developer on Linux?


I'm currently running Elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera, and just downloaded Firefox Developer edition, which runs independent to the regular Firefox, so Live Server extension doesn't recognize FDE.


Solution

  • The Live Server extention opens the localhost tab on your default browser, but you can copy the URL into any other browser and it will work, as long as the server is running.

    If you want the tab to always open in Firefox Developer Edition, you can change the settings of Live Server.

    Note: Live Server also has a CustomBrowser setting, which is simpler to edit, but it has limited options and Firefox Developer Edition is not one of them. AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine overrides CustomBrowser.

    You can read the Live Server docs here.
