Configure browser startup page and session restore
Configure startup behavior for PersonaHub profile browsers, including restoring previous sessions, opening the New Tab page, or following browser settings.
In the PersonaHub desktop app, go to Settings → Launch to configure the On startup behavior for all profile browsers launched on this computer. This is a local device setting with the default value set to Follow browser settings.
Available startup options:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Follow browser settings | Uses Chromium's native startup preferences (which can be customized inside the browser's own Settings menu) |
| Continue where you left off | Automatically restores the tabs and windows open when the profile browser was last closed |
| Open the New Tab page | Opens the browser’s New Tab page on startup |
Update behavior and external links
- When changes take effect: Settings changes take effect the next time you launch a profile browser and do not modify currently open browser windows.
- Specified URLs: If specific URLs are passed via the profile’s startup URL, launch arguments, extensions, or external links, those URLs are handled as separate navigation requests. Selecting Open the New Tab page does not suppress or cancel explicitly requested URLs.
