[Bug 1426407] [NEW] Reuse empty tab when opening a link with the browser

 

Public bug reported:

Let's say you close all tabs before closing the browser. Then you click on a link in another application and the webbrowser app is opened. After that, you end up with two tabs: An empty tab and the tab with the website you opened.
It would be nice if the browser instead reused the empty tab for opening the URL. Having to close empty tabs all the time can be quite annoying.
