        welcome to the notepad++ community, @dickm71

        yes, this menu entry was moved to view > view current file in > [browser name] as seen at the screenshot below.

        best regards.

          Note also that the choices in the red box won’t be enabled unless you’ve saved to a real disk file.

              Unfortunately all browser name is disabled in the View - “View Current File in” menu item, the browsers don’t start.
              I tried with more existing, old or freshly saved txt files on C: , D: hard drive, in the installed and portable version too.
              I have three versions of Firefox installed, Chrome is not installed, Edge and IE installed by default.
              The Launch in … and Send via … UserDefinedCommands are in comment.
              What could be the reason of this ?

              Notepad++ v7.7 (32-bit)
              Build time : May 19 2019 - 13:08:20
              Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
              Admin mode : OFF
              Local Conf mode : OFF
              OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)

              No change if I start with -noPlugin .

                @László-Botka Because this option is configured on html files

                  @László-Botka Open the file shortcuts.xml and remove the comments of these lines. And then you can open your files in the browser through the menu “Run”

                      The files don’t have to be html for these options to be enabled. “Normal text” files, which the OP’s appears to be, will (or should!) open just fine in (for example) Chrome.

                        @Alan-Kilborn I agree that normal text files can also be opened via this menu.
                        But why then @László Botka can not do this?
                        Through the start menu, I can open files without restrictions … I personally like it more

                          This is not a problem for me. Maybe somebody will tell sometime, why it doesn’t work. In the meantime, I wrote my own Run command for Firefox, because the built-in “Launch in Firefox” runs not the standard but the Nightly version, like the Windows 10 Run box, probably because it was installed last time. I only use Nightly for testing.

                            If I copy the .txt file with different extensions, the browsers are enabled and start for .cmd , .html , .xml , .c , but disabled for .txt , .zzz, .log , no extension.
                            I don’t see what is the sense of this.
                            I think if a file is open and npp can work with it, the view should work.
                            The same issue exists on my wife’s Windows 8 machine.
