PHPStorm keeps opening Firefox by default when running

381 Views Asked by Jimmyt1988 At 14 April 2025 at 13:04

I want PHPStorm to run my default browser - Internet explorer... and yet it runs Firefox.

I have unticked all options in the settings/web browsers and left only IE ticked.
I have changed my run application options to internet explorer (under edit configuration)

It keeps running Firefox or comes up with cannot find chrome... There's a good reason for that, I don't have it installed...

What am I missing in the set up?

Your 2nd screenshot shows that you making changes to Defaults and not actual Run/Debug Configuration.
What kind of page (job) you are trying to open (do): works with JavaScript or some PHP page?

You are making changes to default for "PHP Web Application" but at the same time you have 1 temp configuration of "JavaScript Debug" type which only supports Chrome for the moment (hence the "or comes up with cannot find chrome..." part)

Therefore please create Run/Debug Configuration of correct type, configure and use it. If still not working -- show it here.
