That's correct. I can confirm that if I go to SeaMonkey's Edit > Preferences and click "Set default browser", then a new userapp file is created. This userapp .desktop file is then inserted into ~/.config/mimeapps.list. Good catch, and thank you! $ ls .local/share/applications/ mimeinfo.cache userapp-SeaMonkey-45D4DY.desktop $ cat .local/share/applications/userapp-SeaMonkey-45D4DY.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application NoDisplay=true Exec=/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.40/seamonkey %u Name=SeaMonkey Comment=Custom definition for SeaMonkey $ cat .local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache [MIME Cache] $ --Kyle
