Can't debug javascript in PHPStorm 8

Question

When I debug an html file with the PHPStorm built-in server, PHPStorm first installs the Firefox extension. The next time I try to debug JS I get the following error:

The installed Firefox extension is incompatible with current PhpStorm version and will be updated. Please close Firefox if it is running and press "OK".

When I close firefox, and click ok firefox starts with the default start page.

I'm running OpenSuse 13.2 (same problems on Arch Linux) with PHPStorm 8.

If Firefox is v33 or newer then yes, Firefox has removed old API for JavaScript debug and JetBrains browser extension / IDE does not support new one yet.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-13801 -- star/vote/comment to get notified on progress.

If you need debug working right now in Firefox -- I may only suggest to install older Firefox version in a separate folder and use separate profile.

Alternatively -- try debugging in Google Chrome.
