Description Petr Jiricka 2012-05-11 14:36:05 UTC 
1. Create an empty HTML5 project
2. Create a html page in this project
3. Set Chrome as your browser
4. Run this page

A blank page with the following URL is open in Chrome:
file://localhost/var/folders/7s/z748n8391216ckv5tk6nb7_w0000gn/T/blank2427008862019412798.html

Actually this worked for the first time, but then when I tried later it did not work.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2012-05-11 14:49:02 UTC 
Restarting the IDE helps as a workaround.
Comment 3 David Konecny 2012-05-11 20:22:03 UTC 
I always load blank page to start browser and be able to set breakpoints and once that's done the real page is reloaded. Should never be visible to user - if it is it indicates some problems in communication between browser and IDE. Some bug. I will need some steps how to reproduce to fix. How often that happens to you?
Comment 4 Petr Jiricka 2012-05-13 21:33:57 UTC 
How I reproduced just now:
1. Create a HTML5 application
2. Run index.html
3. Close the notification status line that NetBeans is debugging the tab, and close the browser tab
4. Switch to another browser (e.g. Safari on Mac) in the IDE options
5. Run index.html again => only blank page is open
6. Switch back to the system default browser (which is Chrome for me)
7. Run index.html again => only blank page is open

I did notice that when whole browser is closed the debugging session is not stopped - probably we are not listening on right events. As a workaround I would suggest to close browser tab first - that should work and should kill debugging session and rest should just work.

Closing of browser is now handled properly.
