I would like to be able to set an External HTML Editor so that SeaMonkey will not keep changing the one that I use for editing HTML files.  Each time I install it, it changes all HTML file types to it's editor.  I have to then manually set them back to the previous editor.

Reproducible: Always

I just wanted to add that I realize that I can say no to it being the default browser, however, I want it to open HTML files for viewing by default and also be the default internet browser.

I believe this is the kind of stuff to be delegated to an extension.

I suggest WONTFIX.

Hmm, this sounds more like an installer issue (regarding the default HTML editor being reset to SM upon installing SM), which is not really something for an extension, but the version it was reported for is very old and not supported anymore. So instead of WONTFIX I suggest asking the requestor to check with a current SM version (2.0 or later), and then mark INCO if that info is not provided within a reasonable amount of time (say, 2011-02-01). Tony, if you agree, please update accordingly.

Indeed, as of 2.0, Composer isn't even an optional component.
