Doesn't ask, ie. acts as Epiphany 2.14 did.

Yes, it did! Firefox defaults to this, while Epiphany defaults to "Ask

The dialog might benefit from a "remember my selection" checkbox, or
at least a pointer to this setting seeing that the default does differ
from Firefox (1.5 -- I haven't installed 2.0 yet).
