View Current File In broken?
-
Suddenly View Current File In doesn’t work with either Firefox or Edge (different issues with each). It worked before, so I’m wondering if this is a new bug…or what? Thanks.

Edge works for me (I don’t have FF to test). But until you describe in more detail, I am quite confident there isn’t a bug, because that’s a highly-used feature of Notepad++, and it would surprise me if there were a fundamental bug that you were the first to notice.
Could you be more specific? You claim there’s “different issues” but don’t explain what they are.
- Share your ?-menu’s Debug Info
- What are the issues?
- Does it not show at all?
- Are you just talking about the HTML doesn’t render as you expect? Because that has nothing to do with Notepad++, and we cannot help you with HTML. (The best way to tell if this isn’t the right place: if writing the exact same HTML code in
notepad.exegives you the same “different issues” in FF and Edge that writing it in Notepad++ did, then the problem is not with Notepad++, and instead it’s with your code.)
- How is it different between FF and Edge?
- What’s the filename you are opening?
- Viewing in the browser is obviously intended for HTML and similar static web technologies
- Are the changes to the file not yet saved (or is the file an unsaved
new #file)?- Because if you have made edits to your file, but not saved them, then what you see in FF/Edge will be what you last saved, not what’s currently showing in Notepad++.
- And if you don’t have any underlying file and are just looking at an unsaved
new #file, Notepad++ cannot tell the browser to look at file XYZ because there is no file for it to point to.
