Hi,
Unfortunately, this is not supported by most of the browsers since scripts have very limited access to local machines. I have found a few references. Please check if it works out.

var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.run("Firefox http://www.google.com");
}

Hi, your requirement seems related to generic web application. The code that works on a simple web page (outside Pega) should work within the Pega application also. My two cents!
