Bug Description
The feature of the webbrowser to restore opened sites is too aggressive. it also opens sites that have been manually closed instead of just the ones that have been killed by the app lifecycle.

Agreed - would be much better to restore pages that have been closed due to a system crash, rather than everything that's been open. This behavior also happens with webapps - which is not the most useful default behavior. At the very least, there should be an option to disable this in the Browser settings, and options for webapp developers to disable this behavior in their apps.
