Every time I restart my mac or Safari and every time after update of Bitwarden, when i open new Safari window, webpage “Browser Extension Getting Started | Bitwarden ” opens. I use a lot of profiles in Safari and it’s annoying. Is there any way to deactivate this behavior?

Hi there, what version are you currently running? Let us know if you’ve recently updated the app.

### Steps To Reproduce
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Install the Bitwarden macOS cl… ient from the App Store.
2. Activate the Safari Plugin from Safari's Extensions preferences.
3. Observe that the plugin intermittently opens new tabs displaying the "Getting started" page on bitwarden.com.
4. The issue occurs when the user is not logged in to Bitwarden, but also when they are not interacting with Safari at all.
5. After manually closing the tabs, they reappear after a while, seemingly every 1-2 hours.
### Expected Result
Bitwarden should not repeatedly open the "Getting started" page in new Safari tabs.
### Actual Result
The Safari extension continuously opens new tabs showing the "Getting started" page, even if such a tab is already open or was previously opened.
This behavior causes an overflow of tabs in Safari, requiring manual effort to close them.

### Issue Tracking Info
- [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
