There is a closed post about setting the homepage of the browser. I would like to see another feature related to this. I open a new post because that one is already resolved.

Opening the browser loads the previously loaded tabs regardless what URL you set up as homepage. If you close all tabs before closing the browser then next time the homepage is loaded right. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug but this is very annoying for me. IMHO nobody wants to close all opened tabs before closing the browser to get the homepage loaded next time. Therefore the homepage feature is quite useless because most of the times the homepage will not be loadad, instead we get the pages from our previous session.

Another problem related to this: after opening the browser the last tab starts to load. While loading, I tap on the URL to write the address I want. Sometimes it selects the whole URL which is good and I can overwrite it. But other times (if I tap too early or too late durig loading) the cursor goes to the end of the loaded URL. In this case I have to manually delete the URL before typing the address I want. This is a really big annoyance for me since sometimes I have to delete a very long URL to clear the bar.

My suggestion: Under browser settings where we can set the homepage URL, there should be the following options to choose from. Start browser with: -homepage -last visited tabs

Or the same with only one checkbox: "Restore last loaded session on startup?" (yes/no)
