At this moment, the MobileFirst plugin for Cordova does not yet support the browser platform. You can use the MobileFirst Web SDK for web apps.

The MFP SDK is compatible with cordova browser platform since late 2017: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/blog/2017/09/07/cordova-browser-compatibility-with-MFP/

Depending on whether you want to build a full cross-platform app (browser+app) from the same codebase, you may have to add some cordova hooks to replace some calls to certain functions, as for example the Analytics libraries or the JSONStore SDK are not available on the browser (or their names) differ.

We tried on a Ionic v1 application and the same code of the app works in browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Edge, but not IE).
