I can confirm this on a 5 days old trunk build (Mac OS 10.3.9). No matter what
your settings are in Preferences --> Appearance: "When SeaMonkey starts up,
open" the browser will launch when you drag & drop a html file on the SeaMonkey
app in the  Dock. Note also that you actually can set your pref to open nothing
on startup by having all the checkboxes unchecked (it doesn't work, should it?).

Can't find any dupe, so marking new.

See bug 139683 and bug 202448.

It's quite possible that the issue still exists on trunk...
