r/vscode on Reddit: Live Server - Mac Big Sur Issue
November 14, 2020 -

After updating to Mac os Big Sur my Live server has seemed to stop opening the HTML page in chrome.
It starts the port, and works fine If i type the exact address, but its not opening it directly..

I also noticed that there´s a new "Five Server" that apparently fixes this, but I've tried and still no luck with that extension either..
Tried reloading, reinstalling extensions VSC and restarting mac, but it keeps starting a port without opening the file in my browser.

Anyone know how to fix this?

html - Why Live Server is not opening the browser or loading - Stack Overflow
I am new to VSCode and Web Designing. I downloaded live server to load my websites directly, but when i click on golive then nothing happens. No browser opens up and even if I open it manually then click on go live nothing happens. I have auto save turned on to 1000ms so then it must work right? More on stackoverflow.com

r/vscode on Reddit: Live server is not opening the browser
May 20, 2020 -

Hello,

I used Live Server before and this issue never happened. For some reason, when I open an HTML file with live server, it just starts the server without opening the browser itself.

I Googled around and tried all sorts of settings. Here is my settings.json:

    "liveServer.settings.donotShowInfoMsg": false,
    "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
    "liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false,
}

I tried changing the browser itself to a different one (my main one is edge) but it also didn't work.

Opening the URL manually works (127.0.0.1).

Any suggestions would be great.

August 14, 2020 - Then, reopen VSCode and try again – go to the HTML file you want to view, right click, and select "Open with Live Server". It's possible that the extension is working, but your system doesn't have a default browser.

What do you do if a live server is not working in VS Code? - Quora
Open that folder in VS Code. Run Live Server (Go Live). If it works here, the issue is project-specific (config, .vscode settings, or file paths). Keep logs and exact error messages in mind when troubleshooting; the Output pane and browser console usually point to the root cause.

M1 VS Code Live Server extension dont launch chrome - Stack Overflow
THere's an updated extension (Live Server is no longer maintained), which is calle Five Server. But it doesn't launch the browser (as it should) either, at least in my case with a Macbook M1 also ... Opening wthe very folder where the index.html is located directly in VsCode (as opposed to some of the ascendant (parent of parent of...) folder, makes Five Server work for me - it is now able to open the Chrome browser and update it automatically.

It is weird and i tried the "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser":"chrome:PrivateMode", any kind of browser typed in won't work.
