Bug Description

bq M10 rc-proposed OS build 100
If I have few tabs open and in the first tab is a youtube video, it will start playing even if that tap is in the background after restarting the Browser.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Browser
2. Open a tab with a youtube video in it, for example http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1605/meeting/22651/convergent-ubuntu-apps
3. Open few more tabs with other websites
4. If necessary move the tab with the video so it's the first from the left
5. Select any other tab
6. Close Browser
7. Start Browser again

Expected result:
I don't hear the sound from the video in the background tab.

What happens instead:
I hear the sound from the video in the background tab.

I can reliably reproduce the issue. What seems to happen is that the first tab in the list is always loaded at startup, regardless of whether there are other open tabs and regardless of the current tab index. This is an unexpected behaviour, only the current tab should be reloaded.

Hi.
I'm not sure how can I do the testing as that bug was affecting me on Ubuntu tablet. I don't use this app on Ubuntu desktop.

@Michal: the bug is not device-specific, it’s also affecting desktop users. You can help validating the fix if you have a desktop/laptop running xenial. Thanks!

Tested and verified in an up-to-date xenial amd64 VM, with webbrowser-app 0.23+16.04.20161028-0ubuntu1.

I verified that the first tab doesn’t get reloaded at startup if another tab was previously selected.
