[BUG] Admin Panel is not automatically opened in new tab in Firefox-based browsers

[SalahAdDin]

Bug report

Describe the bug

After initializing a project in Linux with Firefox as my default browser, it didn't open a new tab with the admin panel.

System information

Medusa version (including plugins): preview Node.js version: v20.12.2 Database: PostgreSQL Operating system: Manjaro Linux x86_64 Browser (if relevant): Firefox, Brave

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open a shell
2. Run the initializing command: pnpm dlx create-medusa-app@preview
3. Fill all required parameters
4. Wait for the project to be initialized.
5. Check there is no Administration Panel tab in your browser

Expected behavior

It should open a new tab for the Administration Panel with the form for giving a password to the admin user as it states here.

We had to use npx medusa user -e some@email.com -p admin to create an admin user.

We guess it is related to the non existing open browser option for the admin:

    resolve: "@medusajs/admin",
    /** @type {import('@medusajs/admin').PluginOptions} */
    options: {
      autoRebuild: true,
      develop: {
        open: process.env.OPEN_BROWSER !== "false",
      },
    },
  },

Will it be implemented in the future?

UPDATE: I checked on medusa 1.20.9 with admin 7.1.16, and it seems it is unable to open Firefox-based browsers.

It is still happening in the official release version.
