Correct.

But doesn't FB know it's current state? Like if I'm on A.com now, and
it's closed, and I click a link to go to B.com, even if the last time
I was at B.com it was open, just a second ago it was closed. It knew
it was closed. I get that it's nice to remember "Hey, last time I was
on B so let me open again.", but it would be nice to have an option to
enable/disable it.

I guess I see the first scenario as different from your second one. In
your second one, in the UI, FB is open. It should stay open forever
until I close it, no matter where I click. Ditto for closing.

I guess I'll start closing FB. But do you at least see where this can
be surprising?

Yep, running 1.4.5.

As I said, I guess I'll start closing FB when done.
