Hi All We have fixed the *weird* issue of *BrowserCommand* and *FixedPort* both. It will be part of the release on 19th September but if someone wants to test it and confirm then please download and install the nightly build from https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/snapshots/2020-09-02/
*Note*: If you are testing the snapshot build just keep that in mind there are commits which are still in "Testing".
