Speaking of settings and previous mentions of possible concerns about
what tabs appear on startup, there's also a setting
(about:preferences) for declaring what appears upon startup. These
days, it's fairly normal to see something similar to "Open previous
windows and tabs", open with a blank page, and open with a personal
favorite webpage.
That said, I'm only seeing the "Open previous windows" selection. That
makes a user feel like the browser is maybe getting paid to
alternatively provide potentially sponsored content with no
immediately visible "Off" button..
Maybe.
Or not.
