WebStorm tries to open Chrome for debugging

I created a new JavaScript Debug configuration. Firefox is the first browser in the list and the default browser is set to system default which is Firefox too. I've also tried to use first in list as default which also is Firefox. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and WebStorm 2016.1.1.

When I now trigger the debugging via the little bug icon I get the following error message:

"Cannot run program "google-chrome": error=2, No such file or directory"

I thought okay, might be a bug. I removed all browsers but Firefox from the WebStorm settings and tried again. Didn't work, all the default browsers just reappeared after a restart of the IDE and the error from above kept popping up.

Any advice to force WebStorm to use Firefox?
