The URLs on Windows failed to be opened because the cmd executed via
ProcessExecutor was not correctly constructed. We were calling `exec("cmd", "start \"$url\"")`
but in Windows `/c` is also needed to the `cmd`.
We originally used native commands to open URLs because Toolbox didn’t support it.
Now that LocalDesktopManager provides an API for launching the browser, we no longer need to fix
the command-line logic — we can just use the Toolbox API instead.

I've tested this fix on macOS and Windows. Seems to be fine now. |
