[edited 2022/september 12 Mea Culpa ] in fact I just realized that apart from the line c.NotebookApp.use_redirect_file = False it is useless to add the rest of the code above in jupyter_notebook_config.py, it is in the ~/.bashrc file that you just have to add:

# ortollj added  see stackOverflow:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62814002/start-this-command-cannot-be-run-due-to-the-error-the-system-cannot-find-the
# export BROWSER='/mnt/c/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe'
export BROWSER='/mnt/c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe'

as I had did several modifications to try to solve this problem I foolishly thought that it was my last modification in the jupyter_notebook_config.py file which would have been effective when in fact it was only my modification in the bashrc file ! sorry for that.
