PhpStorm looks for Google Chrome when I set up Firefox

PhpStorm 2021.2.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I set up a Run Configuration as follow:
But when I launch this Run Configuration I get:
I don't understand why it look for Google Chrome if I selected Firefox as a browser.
Sadly that is correct / no error here.
JavaScript debug is done with Chrome-based browsers only (has been like that for quite some time now).
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2021.2/run-debug-configuration-javascript-debug.html
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2021.2/debugging-javascript-in-chrome.html
Debugging of JavaScript code is only supported in Google Chrome and in other Chromium-based browsers.
To debug JavaScript using Firefox you need to use Firefox Remote type of Run/Debug Configuration (need to manually create and use it) and enable Remote Debugging in Firefox in advance. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2021.1/debugging-javascript-in-firefox.html has all the info.
A ticket to watch after: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-14987
NOTE: the aforementioned Firefox Remote type of Run/Debug Configuration is no longer present in current 2021.2 version. The last version that has it is 2021.1.
In addition to the above, from https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360010846880/comments/360003174860
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can offer for debugging in Firefox now :(
We used to support Firefox Remote Debugging (but without source maps) through the Firefox Remote run configuration, but our solution doesn't work in the latest Firefox versions due to changes in the protocol, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to fix it. We've made some progress recently, but there are still some blocking issues.

AT-SPI for Google Chrome in Linux

I have been finding the way to get the urls of opened tabs of the browsers of Firefox and Chrome using Accessibiltiy.
I found that Firefox can get the urls using at-spi, but Chrome can get the url of focused tab a few months ago.
I have gotten a new result recently during the test. It is that I cannot access the child of Chrome using Accessibility, so I don't even know the url of focused tab.
"atspi_accessible_get_child_count" returns 0.
But as I said earlier, it worked on Chrome 31 version.
According to Assistive technology support, there are not tools to test accessibility in Linux.
Chrome does not support Accessibility anymore?
There is the answer in Chrome Accessibility.
That says accessibility of Chromium on desktop Linux is not really supported currently.
You need to start Chrome like this:
ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 chrome --force-renderer-accessibility
Both of these are necessary. For electron apps, ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 seems to be enough, at least that was the case with VSCodium and Signal Desktop.
On Windows, this is not necessary because a11y enables itself once a known screen reader is detected (afaik), but Orca under Linux is apparently not known.

Opening app from different android Browser

Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

Mobile version Google Chrome on PC (for developers)

Could you suggest how best to test the site for Google Chrome mobile version...? I know that Opera Mobile and Mozilla Firefox are emulators for the desktop, but I have not seen this for Chrome. Maybe I'm just looking bad?
for example:
Mozilla Firefox - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/ (fennec)
Opera - http://www.opera.com/developer/tools/mobile/
Pretty old question but in case someone else hit it in future;
Best solution i found is this;
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging?hl=tr
And the best part is, its working!
PS: If "adv devices" command doesn't work make sure that you have the USB driver for your phone is installed on your PC.
Google Chrome Canary can be a better replacement for this purpose. I use Chrome Canary for testing purpose.

It's easy to browse mobile version of nay site using browsing agent switcher, there are browser agent switcher for all browsers, more read here about browsing mobile version of site on desktop PC.

How can I check my ajax application and site on multiple browsers?

I am running windows 7 which won't even allow me to use the latest IE version for testing.
I currently use google crome and firefox. Is there a program or easy way to test a site with multiple browsers, and not just
the way they might look but everything like javascript and ajax just as if I were using that particular browser?
http://www.xenocode.com/Browsers/ has some great online browser virtualizations.
They take a bit to load but are perfect for testing. Javascript and such will work like normal and you can try out all the versions of IE from the same computer without installing anything.
I should note that these launch fully functional browser windows- It is not an in browser preview type thing.
They used to have multiple IE versions, Firefox, Opera and safari available to download as portable software but I can't find them anymore :(
Install a virtual machine manager - OpenBox from Sun is free and works OK - and install a copy of Windows / Linux / whatever in each of a bunch of virtual machines. Then in each Windows either keep the installed browser (ie IE 6, hahah, in XP) or upgrade it to IE 7 or IE 8. Also install whatever versions of FF and Opera and so on.
It's not perfect, but I get by using IETester for different versions of IE. The author claims it works on Windows 7.
