I got an annoying issue with Chrome.
Recently started- when I open chrome it loads the last page or tabs I visited.
I have a set home page that has always loaded- until now.
I have been to the settings page and confirmed the proper button is ticked.(Open a specific page or set of pages.)
Also done a bit of online searching which has been no help.
Oh, forgot to add- if I exit chrome using the X in the upper right window I have this issue. But if I exit by closing the tabs, It will restart on my home page- as it should.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you have the settings right to not load the last pages. If you're sure those are correct, I'd uninstall and re-install chrome. That should fix any weird issues.

Considering that. What will happen to saved passwords, bookmarks and such
Can I install as an update instead of uninstalling?

You can just try to install over the top of it, but generally that doesn't always work as well as getting rid of it first.

For all of your saved things - log into chrome before you blow away your installation.
http://support.google.com/chrome/bin...&answer=165139

If you log into Chrome, it will save all of your bookmarks/etc. in your account. Then, anytime you log into chrome from anywhere else (another computer, for example) all your stuff will be there. I love Chrome for this. My office, my home desktop, laptop, Nexus 10, and Galaxy S3 are all sync'd with the same bookmarks everywhere. I can bookmark something at my desk, and go back and check it out later at home on one of my other devices.

I think I'll reinstall when convenient. It's annoying to have multiple tabs open-to me anyways.
As soon as I posted about saving bookmarks, I remembered all the you said. That's why I like Chrome too. Laptop in the family room, desktop in my office.... but not my phone. The wife talked me into apple for that- probably return to Droid sometime.
Maybe you can answer this- how do I get a new tab to open on top? I gave up trying to figure it out. I would assume there's a setting somewhere...

If you like the convenience of chrome, you can install it for Apple products. http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome...obile/ios.html

To open a new tab, just click the little partial tab to the right of the currently open tabs. It's that what you're talking about?

Thanks for the link
My tab annoyance- If I right click on a link to open in a new tab, it doesn't open on top
I use the partial tab to access my apps
BTW thanks for your time
