如何在 vscode linux 中配置实时服务器扩展以在已打开的浏览器 window 中打开新实例

Question

i am trying to configure my visual studio code(installed on ubuntu 18.04 LTS). i use live server extension developed by ritwick dey to render my web page dynamically. but every time i run live server extension, it opens a new window of firefox (my default browser) that it attaches with visual studio code as a new window. But i want the live server(extension) to open a new tab in the already open browser window. I remember that in windows 10 OS live server opens a new tab in already open browser window. Is there any workaround that i can do to achieve the same result?

here is my vscode settings that i use globally. and here is the source code of live-server extension.

thank you.

I'm not quite clear what you really need, when I open it, I open it in a new tab in the same browser, but if you need the server to update automatically, in my case I uninstalled it and installed it again in VScode, copy to estencion ext install ritwickdey.liveserver and it worked for me. I hope it helps you brother.

it happened with me also. In my case i have downloaded it from snap store and that issue happened but when i installed through external.deb file, it worked.
