How do I prevent storybook from opening a browser when it runs?

[remy]

I'm developing in Chrome but my default browser is Firefox, so storybook opens in Firefox - but I can't see anywhere on the website how to turn off this "feature" (I read the configure page, searched for "launch", "open" and "browser", it's also not in the faq - so if it's documented, it's well hidden!).

Thanks.

$ yarn storybook --help
Usage: start-storybook [options]
Options:
...
  --ci                          CI mode (skip interactive prompts, don't open browser)

Thanks. (is that actually documented on the site? I did try to find it - obviously failed hard)

For future reference Storybook's Cli options are documented here

Use the flag --no-open instead of CI.

@remy you can also define the environment variable BROWSER=none as part of the node startup script as discovered here: #6201 (comment)

package.json in the scripts section. Using the latest version of storybook.

"storybook": "BROWSER=none start-storybook",

I would like the browser to open, however it does not. Any ideas?
