There is no setting in 5.3… It will always use the last browser used. If you use Chrome then Chrome will be used until another browser is used. ---

In 5.4.1, this feature has been reverted back to use settings from Project -\> Settings -\>Execution -\> Default Execution. You need to change default browser from that settings. We are so sorry for not informing this in the release notes, we will not forget this anymore. Regards ---

@shilpi1 if you are referring to how to do it when running from command line, it is possible to pass the browser as parameter, see: > **[Console Mode Execution](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/console-mode-execution.html#katalon-studio-plugins-in-console-mode)** > > Only Chrome, Firefox and Remote options are supported for console mode execution using Linux version.
