You need to edit the launch.json file to provide the path to your browser.

This is what I have under launch.json file but, I still get the same error message : {

I don't use VSCode, but I don't see anything there that tells it where to find your browser.

Aside: this is not the best subreddit to ask this question. It has nothing to do with System76 products. You'll probably have better luck asking in a subreddit about VSCode.

Thanks, u/bitspace. I appreciate you taking the time to respond despite not using VSCode. I just made a post in the VSCode subreddit. Hopefully, I can solve this issue.
