Re-opening as our browser by default continues where the user left off
(it restores all open tabs). So we should probably set the cookie mode
to restored in the default case, and set it to ephemeral when the user
launches the browser with the --new-session command-line flag.

Title:
Google account login using 2FA isn’t remembered across sessions
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
This has been reliably reproduced on desktop and a phone running
webbrowser-app 0.23+16.04.20160711-0ubuntu1 (and oxide
1.15.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1).
Steps to reproduce:
1) wipe your session data (make a backup first if you care) by removing
~/.local/share/webbrowser-app/
2) launch webbrowser-app
3) browse to https://mail.google.com
4) log in with an account that uses 2FA (I’m testing with a @canonical.com
address)
5) read your e-mails
6) close the browser window
7) launch webbrowser-app again
Expected result: you’re back to your inbox, logged in and ready to
work
Actual result: google prompts you for your e-mail address. Once
entered, the login happens automatically, there is no need to do the
2FA dance again.
