I'm using Windows 10 and my default browser is Chrome. If I go to the Firefox directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox) and open the command prompt and type:

ipython notebook --browser='firefox'

then the notebook opens as expected. However if I navigate to the folder which contains my files and try to do something like:

ipython notebook --browser='C:\Program/Files/(x86)\Mozilla/Firefox\firefox'

then it does not launch. The error is "No web browser found: could not locate runnable browser". I have tried many variations of this with no success. This was brought up in a similar thread a couple years ago (Launch IPython notebook with selected browser) with no resolution that I could see.

  • First of all the path you wrote is missing spaces. If that's just a typo and not the cause of your problem, it sounds like a bug and you should post it to IPython's bugtracker. – smheidrich Jan 24 '16 at 01:51
  • There is no typo. Using your advice I have tried many more variations including spaces with no success. For example, I can use `cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"` however `ipython notebook --browser="C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox"` gives me the same error I have been getting. – Alex Jan 25 '16 at 16:13
