Workaround(s)
I would love to have a setting to set the default browser for all VS projects.
For normal browsing I use Firefox, but for debugging Internet explorer works better.
Because every session gets started in a different window and VS stops the debugging session when the window is closed.

This problem only occurs for MVC Views. The workaround is extremely simple: add a Web Form to your project, and you have a Browse With context-menu option there...
