SQL Server Browser is a Windows Service. The Service tab in "SQL Server Configuration: simply displays the properties of the service, including the Startup mode of the service.
You can also change the start mode through the service's property dialog (Administrative Tools > Services > SQL Server Browser > Properties > Startup Type).
I suggest you repair your SQL Server installation as a precaution. The mode dropdown wouldn't be empty unless an error occurred in the configuration program. While this may not prevent SQL Server from running, it's an indication that something weird is going on.
