I have read the threads on the problem with Dreamweaver "Preview in Browser" not working with Firefox 3.6. One thread said that Firefox 3.6.2 solved the problem. But I am using Firefox 3.6.3 -- and Preview in Browser is still not working.

Another person said he solved the problem, but didn't share how. Has anyone gotten this to work? I use it all the time when designing websites.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Firefox automatically upgraded to 3.6

There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions: http://solutions.marketingmedley.com/

There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

The bug is fixed, but you have to wait for Firefox 3.6.6 to get it in a release (3.6.5 will be skipped). https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549680 - Bug 549680 – Preview from Dreamweaver does not work in FF3.6

You can also look at the latest nightly test build of Namoroka (Namoroka/3.6.6pre) ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-1.9.2/

I had the same problem when upgrading to 3.6 and have gone back to 3.5. Does anyone know if this is fixed now we're onto 3.6.8?

Hey guys - I had this problem for quite some time and stuck with 3.5.7 until this past weekend. I got sick of being stuck on an old, less secure version of FF, so I decided to upgrade to 3.6.8 and I would just open the html files by themselves and refresh as I work on them.

First thing I did, though, was to try previewing a file in FF through DW CS4 and, to my surprise, it worked! I didn't touch anything else; no preferences, file/folder names, nothing! I'm now in the office and it continues to work. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy about this, but I still kept the installer for 3.5.7 just in case the next release screws it all up again.

If it helps, I'm running DW CS4 (build 4117) on a unibody Macbook Pro 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo w/Snow Leopard 10.6.4

Good luck!
