To use Firefox for debugging, you set the Eclipse-wide preference that controls which browser to use for any context where Eclipse needs a browser. It is not a Flex Builder-specific setting.
To change it, go to preferences, General, Web Browser. As for the IE problems, I am pretty sure this is caused by changes in IE's security model when Vista's UAC (User Account Control) is turned on. After finishing a debugging session, look for a process called ieuser.exe, and if it exists, kill it, and see if that allows Flex Builder to once again debug. Or, turn off UAC. This is an issue we are aware of; I don't have the bug number handy. - Mike Morearty --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Scott Melby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have recently setup a new development machine (Vista) and in the > process upgraded to Flex Builder 3 Beta 2.
