Title:
  [Browser] No home button to take you back to the default home page

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in Web Browser App:
  Confirmed
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Open the browser on a fresh flash
  2. Note the home page
  3. Browse to planet.ubuntu.com
  4. Close the browser
  5. Open the browser
  6. Try and get back to the original home page.

  EXPECTATION:
  Every browser has a home button, it may or may not be used on mobiles but at some point you might want to go back to that page.

  ACTUAL:
  Once you close the browser the history registers the home page but after a while that would disappear then you would be left with no reference of it.

  -- SOLUTION --
  Add a default bookmark in the New Tab screen
