Blank Page when closing the last tab

[Pix3lexe]

When I close the last tab I now land on this blank page instead of home (like in an older version). Is this expected or a bug?
Version: 1.14.5b
OS: Linux

This is a known and intentional change in Zen Browser. The behavior of landing on a blank page after closing the last tab is linked to the introduction of workspaces as a core feature, which changed how the browser handles the last tab—previously, it would return to the home page or close the window, but now it leaves you on a blank page instead. This has been discussed by other users and is not unique to your setup or version reference reference.

If you prefer the old behavior, you can try setting zen.urlbar.replace-newtab to false in about:config, which has helped some users restore the previous functionality reference reference. This change may be subject to further updates, so it's worth keeping an eye on release notes or related discussions.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
