Browser starts again and again with jolla.com
On my Xperia X i do nothing, but the browser starts again and again with the page jolla.com. I changed the Homepage to blank, but it still starts again and again with jolla.com. When I start the browser manual it loads a blank page. So something in the Phone want to start the jolla.com page. Have somebody an Idea?
This also affects Jolla1. My home page has been google.co.uk for as long as I can remember.
After reading your question, I headed to Settings/Apps/Browser and changed my home page to 'jolla.com'. As expected, when I opened the browser, it opened with 'jolla.com'. I changed back to my usual homepage (google) using exactly the same URL as before, closed and reopened browser and it still loads with 'jolla.com'.
Nice find, most certainly another bug to be added to the regressions list of sailfish-browser.

I noticed in /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/browser/browser.qml that there is a line, 'default: jolla.com'.Changing that might work to change the page, but I don't know how to stop it from doing it.
Levone1 ( 2018-08-18 14:33:24 +0200 )edit@Levone1 - the line of code you found in browser.qml is simply the default page to fall back to if a user does not set a homepage. Oddly enough, editing that line to any other URL, still makes no difference and the browser still loads 'jolla.com', even after editing and rebooting the device, yet my home page is still actually set to 'https://www.google.co.uk/'. I even over installed sailfish-browser and still 'jolla.com' insists on monopolising the browser. So editing, reinstalling make no difference - the plot thickens!

After further fiddling around and then coming back here, I read the answer from @rgrnetalk and he is right. With 'close all tabs on exit' applied in settings, I can set the homepage to open any page I want and it gets opened first time, so it looks like there is no bug after all, just some confusion over what gets opened from where.
