Description

Hi,
so at first, when I started the debug it told me there is a connection error on port 6000.
I changed that to 80 and now the error is not appearing anymore.
However...
Nothing else happens. Firefox is not starting, I do not get any error messages.

here is my config... any idea what is going wrong or what is going at all?
