Still getting default browser butterbar with --no-first-run

[Brandon Jones]

Hoping someone can clarify the expected behavior here. I've found that when running Chromium with the following command line:

--user-data-dir=/some/new/user/dir --no-first-run

I still get the butterbar drop down saying "Chromium isn't your default browser. [Don't ask again] [Set as default]". It was my understanding that this was precisely the sort of thing --no-first-run was supposed to suppress. Is this a regression or is it expected. If so, how does one suppress that message or others like it?

Answering my own question: Looking through http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ I found that there's a separate --no-default-browser-check flag that does indeed disable the prompt. It still seems to me as though this should be implicit with --no-first-run, but at least it's controllable for testing purposes.

The default browser infobar may appear on any run. The only way it relates to first-run is that it usually isn't shown on first-run.
