I have edited this according to some helpful comments below but they have not provided the solution though I can see xdebug stating there is a connection in the logs.

Interestingly when I select 'stop at first line' the 'Continue' icon shows green and execution appears to stop, though I have no idea where. Breakpoints are still ignored so it appears Netbeans is identifying xdebug partly. This is using both the Chrome and Firefox.

Help required please for getting xdebug and netbeans to talk.

I've never had to set this on Netbeans before but from looking at similar reported issues on Eclipse it appears that this setup requires Project properties > Source > Web Root to be set to the public directory served by Nginx. The breakpoints are now working properly.
