[Bug]: CLI opening in Firefox complains about a lack of Chromium #36507

Description

@palfrey

Version

1.53.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install a fresh version of playwright, no browsers cached
  2. playwright install firefox
  3. playwright ff https://google.com (playwright open --browser=firefox https://google.com has the same result)

Expected behavior

I expect it to open Google in Firefox

Actual behavior

Error:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ No chromium-based browser found on the system.    ║
║ Please run the following command to download one: ║
║                                                   ║
║     playwright install chromium                   ║
║                                                   ║
║ <3 Playwright Team                                ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Additional context

The error is clear, and would probably stop an error from happening, but it should not need a copy of Chromium to open things in firefox.
