Protractor with Firefox (32 latest) browser not loading

Question

So for some reason, when I run protractor, Firefox (32 latest) just opens with an empty browser and doesn't navigate to the baseURL. The tests I have written work fine with chrome, but not with firefox. It probably has something to do with the way the conf file is set up. Any ideas?

Conf file:

exports.config = {
    allScriptsTimeout: 11000,

    specs: [
        'e2e/*.js'
    ],

    multiCapabilities: [
       {
            'browserName': 'firefox'
        },
        {
            'browserName': 'chrome'
        }
    ],

    chromeOnly: false,

    chromeDriver: 'e2e/chromedriver/',

    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9000/',

    framework: 'jasmine',

    jasmineNodeOpts: {
        defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
    }
};

Firefox 32 is broken with selenium <= 2.42.2

UPDATE Selenium 2.43 is out!

Need selenium 2.43 or newer version. Or downgrade Firefox back to version 31 or less.

FYI output might look like this:
