Not able to open browser from Azure cloud shell


I trying to open a browser from cloud shell. I have firefox installed in cloud shell but can't launch it.

getting this error :

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file ...../firefox/libxul.so: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM.

I found a couple of solutions on Google but didn't work. So thought of checking if it's allowed to launch a browser from Azure cloud Shell or not?


Solution

  • Probably, It's not allowed to do that since cloud shell offers a browser-accessible, pre-configured shell experience for managing Azure resources without the overhead of installing, versioning, and maintaining a machine yourself.
