Device: Happening across many device types Samsung Galaxy S9+, Google Pixel 4, Redmi Note 8 Pro, etc

Versions: Seems to be reported from a few versions back as well, as well as the latest version 2.7.50381. This task should also look for the earliest reported version

This task is to investigate what changed and resolve/acknowledge it.

So far : Unable to reproduce on my Samsung S8 device while updating from 50372 to 50381

Event Timeline

I've also experienced this on Mi A2 Lite (Android One 10) with 2.7.50381. I've had about 40 tabs opened a week before, now the tab overview is empty. I've been logged in.

for QA:

  • In the latest alpha, make sure that Tabs are generally working as expected (open article in a new tab, scroll through the tab list, open other tabs, etc).
  • Leave the app in a state where it has multiple tabs remaining.
  • Exit the app, and dismiss it from the list of "recent apps" on the device.
  • Relaunch the app, and make sure the same number of tabs appears.
