  • I was wrong when I wrote: Still can’t launch Firefox from Windows Subystem From Linux without a Selenium server and some hacks that nobody has working (Chrome works though) back on September 9, 2018.
  • It’s easy to use the Launchy ruby gem
  • Just set the BROWSER enviroment variable and the Launchy just works:
export BROWSER='/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe'
