I noticed today that the ‘Open Browser’ feature is not working. Yesterday it was. There have been no updates over night and I have not made any changes. I right click the page tab but nothing happens.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Some things to try:

Restart your computer.
If you use a local Testing Server, to preview files on localhost, make sure your local server (Wamp, Xampp, Mamp...) is running.
Edit Preferences to Static Browser Preview. See screenshot.

Post back if you need more help.

HI Nancy, thank for the reply. I have restarted as suggested but didn’t make a difference. There were loads of software updates (not OS or DW), restarted and it all seems to be back to normal. Computers are strange beasts!!

Thanks!

Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em.

Glad your Browser Preview is working again. 😉
