Research direction

Start at the TypeScript implementation of the lightning dev app command and compare its browser handling with the org open command's browser parameter. Done means the command accepts that parameter and opens its URL in the selected browser; verify the command's existing tests if available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I work using 2 browsers; Firefox (system default) for all my normal browsing needs and Chrome for all Salesforce development. Opening metadata in the org through the org open command can be done in a different browser based on the browser parameter. When using that command I can always open Salesforce in Chrome. Currently this plugin always opens the URL in the default browser, which means I have to copy the URL each time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add the same browser parameter from the org open command to the lightning dev app command.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I copy-past the URL, which is fine if a bit tedious.
