New tab opens up whenever phone rotates

Whatever I rotate my phone either way f f f opens a new tab and switches to it. The new tab always opens the original window that I was on before I rotated the screen.

It began happening after I reinstalled the app.

That sounds a bit strange.

So that I can try and recreate it here, what website(s) did you have open when you rotated your phone?

As I had several desktops shortcuts I did not want to reinstall the app and thus have to recreate the shortcuts.

But I did anyway and this solved my problem.
