title: in an android app how to open an external link in firefox (or user-chosen browser)
body: <p>I'm using Phonegap + JQuerymobile to develop an Android app.</p>
  
  <p>I wish to open an external link on an external browser (say Firefox, or Chrome; or let the user choose the browser).</p>
  
  <p>How can I achieve this? </p>
  
  <p>I have tried, without achieving desired results:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="https://mylink.com" data-role="button" onclick="window.open('https://mylink.com', '_system'); return false;"&gt;mylink.com&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also use '_blank', but I don't really see the difference.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
