In *my* SM 2.3.3, it is there. Maybe it's a Windows-only option; I see
you are using Linux. Both David and the OP use Windows, too.


> Why does the OP want SM to not ask??

Because it's annoying, if you *don't* want Seamonkey to be the default
browser. Also, if the user he's setting up the machine for is not very
savvy, he might not be able to change back the default browser to the
desired one after clicking "yes" on Seamonkey.

There might be good reasons to leaving another browser as default. For
instance, perhaps he has some application which opens web pages
automatically -- but those are badly-written IE-only pages. For a long,
long time I did exactly the same -- left IE as default, despite using
Seamonkey almost exclusively -- because of that. With the de facto
monopoly of IE effectively ended, I no longer find it necessary (even
the Microsoft webpages now mostly work in other browsers), though once
in a while I still have to manually copy an URL and open it in IE...
