Atom editor - Open-in-browser Extension - Switch browser - browser

Question

I'm struggling to find out how to switch browsers in the Atom open-in-browser extension. I've looked for settings but I'm stuck with code opening in Firefox
Atom V 1.46.0,
open-in-browser V 0.5.2,
Windows 10 - Default browser - Chrome

For my experience (and of course with ubuntu), it would be nice to have the plugin "open-in-browsers" (reachable via "Edit"=>"Preferences"=>"Packages", v0.0.30 in my case) configure the Atom "config.cson" (reachable via "Edit"=>"Config...") like this:
"open-in-browsers":
Chrome:
path: "/snap/bin/chromium"
tooltip: "Chromium"
Firefox:
path: "/usr/bin/firefox"
tooltip: "Firefox"
FirefoxDeveloper:
path: "/usr/local/bin/firefox-dev"
tooltip: "Firefox Developer"
browsers: [
"Chrome"
"Firefox"
"FirefoxDeveloper"
]
defBrowser: "FirefoxDeveloper"
but that will not work.
With no better luck I tried [in "config.cson"]:
"open-in-browsers":
BrowserPlus: false
Chrome: false
ChromePortable:
path: "/snap/bin/chromium"
tooltip: "Chromium"
Firefox: false
FirefoxPortable:
path: "/usr/local/bin/firefox-dev"
tooltip: "Firefox Developer"
IE: false
Opera: false
Safari: false
SafariPortable:
path: "/usr/bin/firefox"
tooltip: "Firefox"
browsers: [
"ChromePortable"
"FirefoxPortable"
"SafariPortable"
]
defBrowser: "SafariPortable"
Now I have:
"open-in-browsers":
BrowserPlus: false
FirefoxPortable:
path: "/usr/local/bin/firefox-dev"
tooltip: "Firefox Developer"
IE: false
Opera: false
Safari: false
SafariPortable: {}
browsers: [
"Chrome"
"Firefox"
"FirefoxPortable"
]
defBrowser: "FirefoxPortable"
Chromium (via snap in ubuntu: /snap/bin/chromium) and Firefox (via ubuntu apt: /usr/bin/firefox) are working, Firefox Developer does not start at the moment, but did. Some update seems to have destroyed the link between Atom and Firefox Developer?!
It would be a good idea to fill the Wiki in https://github.com/skandasoft/open-in-browsers, for all platforms (MacOS, Linux, Windows).
