debugger on mac starts firefox on windows vm
I'm running WebStorm on my mac. I have chrome, FF4 on my mac, as well as vmware fusion.
When I try to debug javascript, the debugger tries to load it from firefox on my windows virtual machine instead of the Mac installed version.

What path is specified in Settings | Web Browsers | Firefox?
I have "use system default browser" checked. and it simply says "firefox", the firefox settings point to :/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles.ini
When you start JavaScript debugger 'use system default browser' option isn't taken into account. WebStorm uses command in 'Firefox' section to start Firefox.
I complained about this a couple of months ago. On Mac, if PHPStorm can find Firefox it will launch it to debug js. The only way around this is to remove Firefox.
I was able to work around it by changing the location to /Applications/Firefox.app instead of 'Firefox'.
Humm.. didn't think of trying that. Thanks.
