Visual Studio has a nasty habit of forgetting your default browser settings at seemingly arbitrary times. Couple that with the fact that you can only really switch your default browser in VS using this “Browse With…” context menu on a browsable ASPX or HTML page (and the fact that in your MVC solutions you probably don’t have a directly browsable ASPX or HTML page) and this whole thing is a nightmare.
