[Sh1d0w]

Test plan

1. Open preferences > general
2. Set Brave starts with to My homepage
3. Move the window to a unique position and resize it also
4. Close Brave and reopen
5. Window should have retained its position

Original issue description

Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one?
No

Describe the issue you encountered:
When closed Brave does not retain last window position and size as it should be when re-launched.

This happens only if in Settings -> General you set the value for Brave starts with to My homepage. If you select Session and tabs from last time it correctly remembers the position and the size of the window.

Expected behavior:
Brave should remember the last window position and size regardless what I choose Brave to load initially.

Good call, @Sh1d0w! I just manually tested and confirmed #4482 does seem to fix this issue

Unfortunately after I installed 0.12.4 it does not seem to fix this issue. The problem still exists if you follow the STR in the issue above.

Set Brave starts with to My home page and observe that resizing and closing the window, always launches in fullsize when you relaunch the browser. Brave should remember its last position and size regardless of the option set for Brave starts with

if you select my home page then no last window state is saved. I guess we need to use the last window size / pos in that case for the next new Window.
