Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on a Samsung S23 running Android 15 with app version 5.237.0, following the address-bar and tab-switching steps in the report. Trace the favorites display flow after relaunching the app; done means favorites consistently appear in the address bar without switching tabs.
