Closing Last Tab Closes Browser

This just started, previously when I closed the last open tab the browser would go to the speed dial home page. Now it closes the browser, just like in Firefox. It's that a new feature ? The old behavior was preferred, can this be changed ? Thanks in advance.

@duncanm It's probably some extension. Or a bug.

Wasn't happening here the last time I've checked.

@leocg I don't think it's an extension, I haven't added or removed anything, it seems to have started with the last update, probably a bug. I thought it might be a new feature because Firefox has always done that. I'm wondering if there's a way to roll back to an earlier update, see if the problem is associated with the latest update.

@duncanm Can't confirm the issue here, closing the last tab opens start page as before.

@duncanm Try checking the solutions in the other similar topics. I remember something related to an extension or third party app.

@leocg OK now this is weird. After looking at another thread I decided to just restart the comp. And now it's working the way it's supposed to. Before, the speed dial home page had an X in it's tab to close it, which closed the browser, that's gone now. And that's a new one, been using Opera for years and years. Could be something to do with Win 11. But I'm happy the problem is solved. Thanks leocg.
