I've been unable to get google to find an answer for me.

But I did find that if I do browser:"start firefox -url ~A",  then
everything works great.  And you can replace "firefox" with "chrome" too.
Dunno about Microsoft Edge, but I'm sure there's a way.

This would be a good solution, except I also have been unable to find a
command line method of figuring out what the user's default browser is.
