Unwanted tabs at startup/clicking link

Reported by michael....@iliad-solutions.com, Jul 26

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/67.0.3396.99 Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch chromium-browser
2. see that there are 4 tabs already open: http://30.0.0.113/","http://encoding/","http://iso-8859-1/" and "http://to/"

alternatively

1. Click a link
2. The requested link opens in chromium-browser, along with the 4 unwanted tabs.

What is the expected behavior?
See the new tab screen

What went wrong?
I see 4 tabs opening either upon starting chromium-browser, or as an additional 4 tabs every time I click a link.

I've done a search, and see the following under .config/chromium/Default/Preferences:

"startup_list":[1,"http://30.0.0.113/","http://encoding/","http://iso-8859-1/","http://to/" [...]

If I delete these urls from that file, they get readded again. I've tried uninstalling (apt-get purge chromium-browser) and deleted the entire .config/chromium folder, but these values come back under startup_list. Incidentally, 30.0.0.113 seems to be the flash version.

How can I prevent this?

Did this work before? Yes not sure, but has not always been this way

Chrome version: 67.0.3396.99  Channel: n/a

Hi there, I added a new person, then clicked a link in my email client. I see the attached (still have the extra tabs). Not ruling out something environmental in my system, but don't see how these values are getting set. The chromium-browser.desktop has Exec=chromium-browser %U in it, but to my mind it's the Default/Preferences having those in the startup_list that's making this happen. I just don't understand how they get set in the first place!
