If you just want to open a specific URL in the user's own default browser,
don't target a specific application at all. Just use the 'open location'
built-in scripting addition command:

open location http://url.here

If you want to do more than that, you have to target a particular browser by
name. They each have their own limited AppleScript implementation (or none)
and they're all different.
