Quitting react dev server closes browser and any open tabs

This only occurs if create-react-app creates the browser process itself. See info below.

Environment

1. node -v: v6.11.3

2. npm -v:5.4.1

3. yarn --version (if you use Yarn):

4. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): react-scripts@1.0.12

5. Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

6. Browser and version (if relevant): Chromium 60.0.3112.113

Steps to Reproduce

1. Without a browser open, run npm run start in a repo created with create-react-app
2. Open a few tabs in the browser created by that command.
3. Ctrl-C the react server.

Expected Behavior

The browser remains open. Or maybe gives a confirm dialog, then closes.

Actual Behavior

The browser closes, losing my open tabs.

I think the easiest workaround is to have your browser up and running well before starting the dev server.

If the browser is an independent process, it won’t be closed when the dev server is interrupted.

I do not see this in Win10, Firefox, & bash in VSCode.
