How to set default browser in Intellij products?

How can I set default browser in Intellij products? I know where to go in order to do that. File => Settings => Web Broswers => Default Browser. But I don`t know what I should write in the field with Default Browser. Should I write a path to the browser label or something alike?

Solution

  • If you select the Custom path option, you have to specify the full path to the browser executable:

    custom path

    Sample path for Windows Chrome:

    c:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

    If you choose the First listed option, the first browser from the list will be used. Note that you can reorder the list using UP/DOWN arrows on the right tool bar.

    In case the browser executable is present in the system PATH environment variable, you can specify just the executable name instead of the full path.
