Default Firefox path for jpm doesn't work

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with Firefox 46.0. While trying to run 'jpm run' on a new add-on (crawler) created with 'jpm init', I receive the following output:

JPM [info] Starting jpm run on Crawler
JPM [info] Creating a new profile
JPM [error] No Firefox binary found at null
JPM [error] Error: spawn /usr/lib64/firefox ENOENT

I couldn't figure out what was going on at first. I eventually run 'jpm run' and noticed something: the path being used by jpm run was /usr/lib64/firefox. /usr/lib64/firefox is not where the Firefox binary is on Ubuntu;

I followed the Documentation.

and read the issues also but it is not helpful for it.

The jpm has an issue reported here. The default path for firefox binary file is /usr/lib64/firefox, but as per the documentation you have to use the:

jpm run -b /usr/bin/firefox

The location of binary file of firefox in Ubuntu 16.04 is /usr/bin/firefox
