I had the same issue... depending on what version of Windows you are 
using, you can go to Control Panel  Default Programs  then click Set 
Your Default Programs, and choose SeaMonkey as your default browser and 
email.

It's not because you go online that any browser should start.

To test if SeaMonkey is your default browser:

- Under notepad create a file containing:
html
body
This is a very short html page
/body
/html


- Save this file with the name: shortest.htm  into (per example) the 
directory C:/ALLDATA/


- Go under windows explorer, find this file and double-click on it.

Then, if SeaMonkey start showing This is a very short html page BINGO 
! SeaMonkey is your default browser.

You really need to give more information:

What is your platform (e.g., PC, Mac, IPad)

What is your operating system, including version?

What version of SeaMonkey are you using?

Besides the addtional information requested in my other reply, I need to
understand more clearly your problem:  Are you expecting SeaMonkey to
launch as soon as you establish a connection to the Internet?  If so,
that will NOT happen.

I do not know of any browser that automatically launches merely because
an Internet connection exists.  Indeed, I often use SeaMonkey without
any Internet connection, to view changes to my Web site before I upload
the HTML files.

Agreed.  What does initially go online even mean?
How are you /doing/ that?

Back in my dial-up days, I seem to remember launching Netscape 4.7 and 
then IT told the modem to dial-up.  Not vice versa.
