What happened?

Some essentials tabs revert back to about:blank seemingly on random when the browser is opened. I don't know whether it's reproducible on Firefox because Zen's vertical tabs system was not originated from Firefox.

Below are my screenshot showing the issue. Screenshot 2024-11-21 000143

@dosu I find that the issue you mentioned is not quite the same with my issue, my issue is essential tabs reverting back to about:blank, not a display issue.

The issue of essential tabs reverting to about:blank might be related to the zenPinnedTabRestorePinnedTabsToPinnedUrl preference. If this preference is set to true, the browser attempts to reset pinned tabs to their stored state, which includes their original URLs. If the stored state is not properly initialized or if there is an issue with the stored URL, the tab might revert to about:blank.

To resolve this, you can:

Check the zenPinnedTabRestorePinnedTabsToPinnedUrl preference to ensure it's correctly set.
Verify that the pinned tabs have valid stored URLs.
Look for any console errors related to the initialization of the pins cache or the restoration process.

Further investigation into the stored pin data and the initialization process may be necessary if the issue persists ^[1].

@dosu thanks for the explanation, it temporary fixed the issue. Guess I'll have to live with it then.
