Open local .html file with Browser Tab?

How do I open a local HTML file with a browser tab?

I’m using Cursor inside of WSL Ubuntu and want to open an index.html in a Browser Tab so the Agent can work with me. I know I can use the Chrome option, but I was wondering if this was possible with the browser tab option.

I’m encountering the same issue.

You can serve your file with a local http server to access it anyway.

You can use this python http.server module for instance.

python3 -m http.server

Thanks Antoine, that is helpful.

Someone later opened this as a bug report. Please help bump it to avoid auto closure (it was already closed, but I’ve just arranged for it to be re-opened).

I’ve also explained there how to open links after applying the aforementioned interim fix here, and how to apply it in Windows.

Bumping this, since its a non-sensical limitation.
