Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 14
### What happened
I have an HTML/JS app I'd like to debug. I am on NB 14 and Linux. The Chrome extension is installed.
When I attempt to run "index.html". the browser comes up correctly. However, I get a message:
Browser refused to debug this tab.
Close Chrome Developer Tools (or any other browser debugger) and try again.
I completely rebooted my machine, logged in, and ran NetBeans. I didn't start anything else. I'm still getting that error.

Research direction
The report only identifies index.html, NetBeans 14, Fedora Linux, JDK 8, and the Chrome extension; start by reproducing the failed debug launch with that setup. Done means the HTML/JS tab can be debugged without the “Browser refused to debug this tab” message, with the responsible entry point or diagnostic identified.
