Browser Selection in Visual Studio 2019

My default browser is Chrome but I want to use Firefox Developer as my browser in Visual Studio 2019 Community edition on web pages I am working on. ("View in Browser" command in HTML file editor commands.) The HTML menu has "View in browser (Google Chrome)" and I cannot find any option to change this. Searched Microsoft and found nothing pertinent. Stackoverflow has only two related posts, one discusses toggling between Chrome and IE but couldn't see how they did it.

I expect this to be a head-slapper, but I'm stuck. TIA!

    Yes, thanks Dave. As I said, Chrome is my default browser. That's not what I'm looking for. Leon directed me to the VS forum where I've reposted this question. Sorry to waste everyone's time.
