This is interesting. I created a VStudio 2019 -- ASP.NET Core project.
I added a basic.html page to the project in the Views\Home\ folder.
I do have the context menu item "View in browser (firefox)".
However, when I attempt to load the page it loads the URL in my browser but doesn't display the page (probably due to routing issue). The URL in the browser looks like : http://localhost:49464/Home/basic which is incorrect. It should have the .html.
Also I do have UseStaticFiles() in my startup.cs.
EDIT
I moved the .html file out to the root (not under views) and now I have the context menu item in 2019 and it actually loads the page now. It was a routing issue in the previous attempt.

Mine is a Core 3.1 project. I wonder if that makes a difference...

Mine isn't a web app - it's WPF.
EDIT ============
I don't see anything in your settings that's different from mine, excpet mine says "Windows Application" where yours says "Console Application".

Well, this only took me 24 hours to respond...
But anyways, you are correct if it is a WPF app you won't see that context menu.
Check this snapshot out -- top of Visual Studio : https://i.stack.imgur.com/ozTUB.png[^]
Whether it is wrong or right Studio removes the contextual stuff related to web server and web browser when the app isn't a web project.
Compare that first one to this one (which was my previuos web app)
See the IIS Express choice at the top ==> https://i.stack.imgur.com/sCewp.png[^] .
Not great, but just the way VStudio works I think.

Does the behavior change if you mark the file "Build action: None", or exclude from project? That might be sufficient to tell Studio to display it using the default browser rather than something dependent on what the rest of the project is doing.

The latest one : Batch Build Clean Error With Only Some Configurations Selected - Developer Community[^]
To shorten the story, when I use batch build and select only some of the options to be cleaned, VS19 cleans them all. In their minds that is not a bug. In mine it most definitely IS a big. I included a screenshot of the options and results in one of my comments. Their "solution" is just a plain denial of facts and is ridiculous. I have done a fair number of experiments and all demonstrate there is a bug in this scenario. I have several solutions containing multiple projects and this is the only that causes VS19 (and VS17) to behave incorrectly. Somehow, they don't think this is really a bug.
Things that make you go, hmm... Followed shortly thereafter by a stream of expletives.

That's either a bug or awful UI design. The UI screams that it should only be applying those operations to what's selected in the box.
|
|

That's exactly my opinion too. Their "work-around" is ridiculous. They said I should disable those options in the solution configuration. If that's the case then why even have options in the Batch Build dialog? To make it worse, I did several experiments with different configurations, solutions, and options and found that this is the only case that actually fails. I can select those same projects and click build and only they are built.

Typical Microsoft response to a bug report: your perception of the product behavior is at fault.

Yes, exactly! This time they went so far as to suggest a ridiculous work-around on top of it.

Sometimes, that is what we have to do in our software. Someone sends a bug report that a feature is not working and their perception of the product's behavior is not what we intended. But will consider it for a change request in a future version.

Since I do the user interfaces for our stuff, I go through that as well. After I finally learned to read and interpret bug reports, I figured out some of them weren't bugs. The interaction I designed didn't make sense to the user. As a result, I've gotten better making things work for my target audience and get fewer of those sorts of reports.

I was a Grad student in 1977 and '78 at Indiana University. We had a version of Star trek that ran on the CDC-6600 computer. I Spent many hours wondering in space, and having a lot of fun. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I spent part of 1978 mapping out twist little passages or is that twisting little passages or little twisted passages and saying "xyzzy" where ever I could on an Interdata 8/32 while working for an "obscure" company call Ramtek.

Much of 1978 was spent listening to Rush Hemispheres and Van Halen's first record, good times indeed.

That reminds me of a Star trek game I found on the NC State U bulletin board in the late 80's. I liked that game. I wonder how many other games like that are still out there somewhere.

Ah yes, I spent many a late night playing that game at the University of Texas, as I waited for my jobs to run on the mainframe in grAD SCHOOL.
