I think I have found a problem with a security setting...?

So, I currently have set to my primary browser. Works fine, and I have it set to lock when I leave the app, prompting password upon return. Also works fine. The problem is when I leave and go literally anywhere to tap a link on my phone. This opens the browser and allows access to all other tabs without prompting a password. This bypasses the whole point of the security setting. Am I doing something wrong or is this something that was missed in setting up the app for Android?
