i enable the persistent setting on welcome screen, was great to use this
new feature, I find it very useful

I restart the computer with this feature 3 times, enabling and testing
thunderbird, bookmarks, welcome screen, additional software (htop, lshw)
and all works fine

this feature worked great:

language (spanish), keyboard layout (latin america) and administration
password

> # Known issues
>
> * In Tor Browser, opening `file://` URLs has a problem: opening any such local file will result in an infinite refresh loop like if you kept the F5 key pressed, so it will likely not display anything. At the moment this makes it impossible to read the offline documentation inside Tails, for instance. This will be fixed in Tails 4.11.
