Safari opening first tab instead of last active tab on MacBook since 14.4 update

I have Safari set up to open with all windows from last session. Before latest Sonoma update to 14.4, Safari would open with the last active tab (as it still does on iPhone and iPad). Now when I open Safari, it always opens with the first tab on left hand side of display.

How do I get it back to opening on last active tab again?

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)

Oh thank heaven! I thought it was just me! I am running 14.4.1 and have had this issue for a while. I have 5-6 Tabs pinned, but the first tab after the pinned ones keeps opening.

I even tried closing that specific tab, but the next time I open Safari, whatever is in that leftmost "regular tab" position takes over!

Here's hoping for a solution!!
