After Firefox update - XDebug Starts new blank window [message #1642049]

I'm running:

Ubuntu 14.04
Eclipse Luna
Firefox 36.0

Prior to Firefox upgrade, I was successfully running xdebug in Firefox. I've now switched to using Chrome which is successful in helping me debug PHP.

What's happening:

I click Debug Machine
If I set Firefox as preferred browser, opens a new window showiong the ultra default Google / Ubuntu page. (yeah I'm boring! )
Eclipse shows the Red Stop button and provide me no other information it's started. Even with the Stop first line of code checked.
If i check select System Default Browser(Firefox) It will open a new tab in the current Firefox window with the site displayed, not even recognizing it should stop on the first line.

Does anybody have an answer to start debugging this issue?
How do I turn on verbose logging to see what Eclipse is trying to do when firing up a browser to debug?
What useful information can I provide to further help you help me?

Thanks much in advance!

I have a very similar issue: starting a new Debug starts a new Firefox window (even if I already had a running Firefox window) with default startup page.
Except for point 4 ("selecting System Default Browser(Firefox) will open a new tab in the current Firefox"): when I set Eclipse to use "System Default Browser" it still opens a new Firefox window with default startup page.

I'm not sure but it seems to have occurred when Firefox got it's v36.0 update.
I will try Chromium to see if it works (as Iced Stitch suggests).

Versions:

Ubuntu v14.04.2
Firefox v36.0
Eclipse Luna Service Release 1 "Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers" (v4.4.1.20140925-1820)
PDT Extensions v0.21.0.201407100921

Eclipse "Web Browser" settings:

(x) Use external web browser

External web browsers:
[ ] Default system web browser
[x] Firefox

"Firefox" web browser is defined as follows:

Location: /usr/bin/firefox
Parameters:

FYI
Eclipse is using -remote option for Firefox.
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.ui.browser/src/org/eclipse/ui/internal/browser/browsers/MozillaBrowser.java#n182
That option was removed from Firefox 36.0.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/36.0/releasenotes/
It is unknown option now so Firefox shows default start page.
(btw, "Default system web browser" doesn't have this issue.
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.ui.browser/src/org/eclipse/ui/internal/browser/SystemBrowserInstance.java)
