Netbeans debugger session: open in the same tab

Question

Running PHP debug session in Netbeans always opens as a new tab in browser (I use Chrome and Firefox).

How to force browser (or Netbeans) to run the session in the same browser tab, so I do not have n open tabs with the same url for debug?

Answer 1

I'ts really a browser issue, not a Netbeans issue. The browser command line provides no mechanism for using a particular tab. Generally, the only choice you have is whether or not to open a new instance of the browser.

I have worked around this in the past be adding a meta refresh tag to periodically update the display.
