"Burp Browser is not available in this execution mode" I get this when i try to launch the Burp browser. What does this mean and how do i fix it?

Hi Can you please email support@portswigger.net with the following information: Could you send me your diagnostics information? You can find this by going to "Help > Diagnostics" within Burp. When trying to launch the browser, can you send me a screenshot of the Event Log (with the debug filter enabled)? This will allow me to see if any errors are thrown. Additionally, can you log exceptions to a local file? Go to Settings> Suite> Performace feedback, enable 'log performance feedback to a local directory,' and attach the resulting file.

Hi Jared Are you using the standalone JAR? If yes, the compatible embedded browser files for Linux ARM64 are not included in the standalone JAR. You would need to use the Installer.

I'm having the same problem. I installed Kali using the button inside Parallels and then got Burpsuite through the apt package manager. "Burp browser is not available in this execution mode." What's the fix?

Hi Martin If you download the Installer from the releases page: https://portswigger.net/burp/releases and install Burp that way, does this resolve the issue?
