Firefox as default browser returns Error: spawn EACCES

[barretts]

I am running Firefox 38.0.5, and when trying to use node-debug which wanted to open up a browser using this library it produced a very unhelpful error of EACCES. I looked in the stack and saw firefox.js so I switched default browsers to Chrome and BAM it loaded right up.

This reminds me of another bug I ran into on newer Firefox installs where it wouldn't respond to web driver (think Selenium) automated test control. I think the cut off was Firefox 34.

Anyhow I don't have a fix, no idea where to even start, but now this issue might lead someone to understanding in the future since it has all the keywords. Go go Google indexer.

Thanks!
