I found couple of questions in SO where we can change default browser setting in visual studio.
Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer
And that works fine. But when i close and open the visual studio then visual studio opens the default browser instead of Internet explorer. Is there any way we can set IE as default browser no matter we close and open visual studio?

After updating Visual Studio 15.7.1 into 15.7.3, I can't load my Xamarin solution that has a Xamarin.IOs project and a Net Standard 2.0 project.
The loading project window appears loading the projects, but it freezes on loading the first project and Visual Studio goes not responding. The only way to close Visual Studio at that point is by terminating it through the Task Manager.
Is there any way can I successfully open my Xamarin solution from Visual Studio 15.7.3?
This issue appears to be happening only when you try to open the solution through Visual Studio 15.7.3 itself. That is if you try to open the solution,
Through the recent link under Recent section of the Start Page in Visual Studio
Through the Open Project / Solution under Open section of the Start Page in Visual Studio
Through File > Open > Project / Solution... in Visual Studio
Solution:
If you navigate to the directory of the solution, then double click the solution file (.sln file) if .sln files are set to open with Visual Studio OR right click on the solution file and select Open with > Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
Then the solution along with the projects will be successfully opened in Visual Studio 15.7.3!
Note: There's a ticket requesting to fix this issue at, https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/266351/cant-load-xamarin-solution-after-visual-studio-157.html
Update:
After restarting windows, then you can reopen projects as before, directly through Visual Studio 😊
Disabled xamarin Extension
Restart VS
Reload droid project
Enabled Xamaring Extension
Restart VS
This worked for me
I do have a TFS Project (TFS 2013) and I would like to set up my Visual Studio 2015 to work at that project. I have Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015 installed. Now whenever I go to the main page of my Project and click "Open in Visual Studio" (like described here), Visual Studio 2017 opens. I would like to have it open in VSTO 2015. How can I select which version of Visual Studio should open?
The solution file should contain a UTF-8 signature that describes in which version the solution is to be opened. This is what's used for example to show different icons for solution files targeting different Visual Studio versions.
This signature info is also used by the Visual Studio Version Selector when opening a solution. An easy way to fix this is make sure that have the solution local on your dev machine and then right click -> open with and choose the Visual Studio Version Selector. Then pick the correct version of Visual Studio that you want to use.
This will then be honored by your browser when opening a solution since this also uses the Visual Studio Version Selector.
I recently moved to a new PC, and my visual studio is now showing all variables in some sort of memory address mode. Normally I would just see the simple properties and values. I can't figure out how to turn this off and get the standard view.

Aw dude, so simple:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Right-click on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 shortcut and go to its Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab and uncheck "Run this program in compatible mode for:" and say Apply
Now start Visual Studio and open the project. You should be able to debug it.
When I debug a web project in Visual Studio in Internet Explorer, the browser closes automatically when I end the debug session. Similarly, when I end the browser first, so ends the debug session. I understand that IE has special integration with Visual Studio.
My question is: Can I enable such integration on Chrome and Firefox, perhaps with a browser or Visual Studio extension?
My research: I've searched online for "firefox visual studio integration", "close debug chrome visual studio" but nothing related appeared.
Searches for "chrome" or "firefox" in the Visual Studio Extension Manager yield no results.
A little bit of googling reveals that right clicking on your .apspx file, clicking "Browse with ...", selecting Chrome or Firefox, and then clicking "Set as Default" will set the browser of your choice to your default debugging browser, which I assume opens and closes along with the debug session. I see you tagged this as a Visual Studio 2010 question, but I also read that in Visual Studio 2012 you can choose which browser you want to debug with from the dropdown box over the code editor.
As of Visual Studio 2017, Chrome debugging is fully supported.
As of this writing, Firefox and Edge is coming later (Yes, Microsoft added support for Google Chrome before their own Edge browser).
Is is possible to prevent Visual Studio making focus on the new tab opened while I start debugging (F5) in a web application Asp.Net Mvc?
I use FireFox (The latest version to date)
Visual Studio 2010.
