[CLOSED] Live preview opens Chrome Canary instead of stable Chrome #6393
Comments
Comment by redmunds Thanks for filing. Can you look in your Registry at this key and let us know if it's set, and if so, to what?

Comment by sapeish It is set to:
But my system default browser is Chrome:

Comment by redmunds Thanks for the info. Brackets uses the registry key I mentioned above to help determine location of chrome.exe, but apparently it is not reliably Chrome stable, so we'll need to research this some more. As a workaround, you should be able to change that setting to the path to Chrome stable. Brackets also doesn't want to use system default browser which may be a non-chrome browser. |
Comment by dangoor Reviewed. We'll call this low priority for now (we can raise it if we start getting a bunch of reports from people having problems because the wrong Chrome is launching). Note that some form of #6622 would actually be ideal because it would allow a user to selectively run against Canary or their Chrome stable (and eventually other browsers). |
Comment by marcofugaro Yes, I have the same problem, I installed Brackets fresh shortly and the live prewiew opens always in Google Canary. I'd like to open it on a new tab in normal Chrome. I also have Win 7 64-bit and Chrome as my default browser. I didn't even know the esistance of Google Canary before this, and therefore I suppose this is common to all users with the same configuration. Thanks for the help. Bracket version: sprint 37 Build 0.37.0-12014 |

Comment by marcofugaro Thanks a lot, will do that. |
Comment by marcofugaro Update: I did as you said, actually found out I didn't even have Chrome Canary installed, so I reinstalled everything, Canary, Chrome and Brackets, and the problem sill persists. What i found out is that Live Prewiew opens in a new window of the stable version of standard Chrome, totally different from the Chrome I am able to open normally, and you can't merge those windows together. Moreover this error from Chrome pops up when I try to open Live Preview sometimes I'm lost at this point and don't know how to proceed, hope this information helps for future debugging. |
Comment by redmunds Opening Live Preview in a separate window is expected. This is done so Brackets doesn't mess up your other browser windows. You can clear your Live Preview Chrome profile as follows:
Does that fix it? |
Comment by marcofugaro Yes that solved the profile problem, thanks. Sorry for derailing the thread, I thought you was supposed to use your ordinary tabs. |
Comment by redmunds Everything here is covered in Chrome section of Troubleshooting guide. Closing. |

Originally opened as adobe/brackets#7062
If both versions of Chrome are installed, Brackets opens Canary instead of regular stable Chrome.
