FireFox is set to my Windows default browser.

I want to change the default browser used by Visual Studio for debugging. Normally the route I'd take to do this is right clicking on an .aspx file and setting the default from the Browse With... dialog.

Unfortunately, ASP.NET MVC Views don't have the Browse With... option.

What other ways can you set the default browser for ASP.NET MVC projects?

Related, but NOT ASP.NET MVC Specific:
Visual Studio opens default browser instead of IE
