Tried it on an unmodified install of Firefox and it does the same.
Edit: still cannot reproduce it on desktop Chrome or Firefox (and the Firefox has basically never been used and no plugins).
Even more puzzling: I can 100% reproduce it on Firefox iOS by swiping away Firefox to close it and re-opening, but Safari on iOS does not show the same problem.

Turning off the "Close Private Tabs" setting entirely fixes the problem. So I am convinced now it's clearly a browser bug in Firefox and likely for desktop / android too.
It's something to do with the way they restore tabs, and they do seem to be aware of it for Firefox, there's been a lot of reports on it. It *may* be fixed in Firefox "130 and (eventually) it should land in 129.2". People have been reporting the exact same issue to Mozilla across various websites.
Unsure on Chrome, as haven't seen it there at all, but at least for Firefox it's absolutely a browser bug.

Thanks; yeah, I'm guessing that there was something off with my
~/.config/chromium
folder; because after starting from a blank slate, it doesn't seem to occur anymore, even after reinstalling ublock origin lite & privacy badger.I had been copying over that folder between distros, & DEs for a long time; something must have got corrupted along the way.
