not sure what your default browser is and the one you want to use for SSO is, but I found a way to DIY at the OS level https://superuser.com/questions/688063/is-there-a-way-to-redirect-certain-urls-to-specific-web-browsers-in-linux/688094#688094

if you're using a chrome based browser by default and want to open the SSO in Firefox, you could use this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-in-firefox/lmeddoobegbaiopohmpmmobpnpjifpii

you can find the source and full list of browser-specific versions of that extension here: https://github.com/andy-portmen/open-in and here https://add0n.com/open-in.html

Extensions are not a good idea, 1. it introduces more risk into the browser environment (extensions and app stores are a top vehicle for malware delivery, bait and switching, acquire and inject etc. some also block app/extension stores for that reason) and 2. it can be used to fingerprint and increases entropy to your browser fingerprint.

I would prefer the application simply gives an option to select which browser to use, either a field to enter which to launch for SSO or enumerate them and allow selection via the UI.
