How to open a webpage in firfox using Python in Ubuntu

Question

I am working on a project where I need to open a url in firefox in Ubuntu using python. For this I have below code:

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open('https://www.google.com')

This works fine in windows and it open google.com in default browser available in OS. But in case of Ubuntu, I am getting below error for firefox:

[6858:6858:0929/111955.830869:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported.

I thought of installing chrome and then using chrome in webbrowser code. But still its same. I even tried modifying the google-chrome file but it kept throwing same error. For some reason, I have to run the code as sudo and thus need this. Can anyone please help. Thanks

I would recommend Selenium for it but you need to install webdriver before

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('https://www.google.com')
