I'm trying to debug a visual studio website and would like to use Firefox as my browser. It is working fine in IE and Chrome. Any suggestions? The URL typically looks something like this; localhost:50066/default.aspx And firefox wont even respond or attempt to load it when i attempt to run it.

Hi,

You may have to make an exception in Firefox about:config for the required port/ports other than the standard ports. Please see network.security.ports.banned
