Start>Preferences>Main Menu Editor
In the LH panel select Openplotter
In the RH panel select SignalK
Clickl Properties
Delete the text in the Command box and replace it with:
Code:/usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr http://localhost:3000
Thanks baltika_no_9, that's the part I was missing.

But it's too bad that a basic app like Chromium doesn't work properly.
It is frustrating yes,I'm on a Pi 3 as well and most of the time I'm in signalk so use the laptop, getting chromium in the Pi when using a monitor is not rapid thing.
I've never had a good time using a 8Gb card, 32Gb SD card I use now and up the swap file size, how to do that is on the web somewhere.
If this is your first time it would be really interesting in a little while to hear how you got on with signalk, that's an active project and they are always interested in how to make things better or fix anything which is broken. Specifically the interface, be great to hear about anything which didn't make sense or wasn't very obvious.
PaddyB, in fact, I have 8GB RAM, but a 64GB SD card
.I tried the script proposed in this post, but even after adapting it to work, Chromium isn't faster.
I'll do without it for now.
About Signal K, I find this project really interesting and exciting for the capabilities it offers.
I managed to connect a BME280 component to get temperature, humidity and pressure. I plan to install InfluxDB and Grafana (because I already know Grafana for my work and I like it), in order to store this data, and diplay historical graphs.
For now, I've only had one problem with Signal K, when trying to update it via the webapp : I got the following error (in french, sorry !) :
Feb 04 10:14:31 POST /skServer/appstore/install/signalk-server/2.5.0 200 988.768 ms - 28

I worked around the problem by enabling "Passwordless Sudo" mode :
I had to add the following line in /etc/sudoers file :
pi ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
