Brave opens browser with two+ tabs when launched via command line

[CodaCodr]

Description

I have a batch script which launches Brave with a url:

"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --user-data-dir=%jQPROFILE% 127.0.0.1:57/Patches/%DOCFILE%.html

Rewritten for Firefox this works fine. In Brave, it launches the browser and loads two tabs with the document in each of them. The first tab corrupts the document, the second tab is fine.

When I close and rerun the batch, three tabs are opened. Next time, four tabs. And so on...
