in the latest version those entries are commented.
Open shortcuts.xml and uncomment it - restart npp - done. -
I deleted the comment, but nothing has changed. Unable to open file in browser through “run”.

you might have edited the wrong shortcuts.xml file.
on installed versions of notepad++ (not portable versions) the correct location of your shortcuts.xml is:
%AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
(this alias will lead you to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml)-
choose
file > open
at the notepad++ menu. -
paste
%AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
into the file name input field and hit open to open your shortcuts xml. -
paste/insert one or more of the following lines in the black area, anywhere into your <UserDefinedCommands> area:
<Command name="Launch in Firefox" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="88">firefox "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</Command> <Command name="Launch in IE" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="73">iexplore "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</Command> <Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">chrome "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</Command>
- save shortcuts.xml and restart notepad++
now your run menu and your shortcuts.xml should look similar or equal to this screenshot:
please report back if it works for you.
