How to change the default browser used in VS 2005

To change what browser is launched and used when running web apps in Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Web Developer (for example: to use FireFox instead of IE) do this:

Right click on a .aspx page in your solution explorer
Select the "browse with" context menu option
In the dialog you can select or add a browser. If you want Firefox in the list, click "add" and point to the firefox.exe filename
Click the "Set as Default" button to make this the default browser when you run any page on the site.

Note that there is also an optional drop-down at the bottom of the dialog that lets you select the default browser window size when loading.
