Closing the url quits safari
My safari application quits each time I colse the window. When I relaunch Safari
the url that caused safari to quit reappers. If I try to open another tab it
opens to the same url. Here is the problem report sent to apple.

Dragging url from Safari to Mail creates web shortcut attachment
I was accustomed to dragging the url from Safari's address bar into an open mail and getting a page title and url text inserted.
This was incredibly useful for sending links of pages to mailing lists in response to questions.
Now in Leopard, dragging the url from Safari's address bar to an open mail creates a web shortcut attachment.
I can see this might be useful , but in a plain text email to a mailing list it's completely useless as it gets stripped my the mailing list software.
now I have to copy and paste the url - a lot more effort and I don't get the page title anymore that way.
Please tell me there's a hidden preference setting that can let me have the old way back...
this tiny little thing is marring my otherwise happy upgrade to 10.5
I just checked this action in my virgin Tiger install on my Mac Mini and dragging from Safari to Mail, gets a plain text url, but no page title, so maybe I had some helper or other adding that little bit...
anyway, I want to drag urls to mail and get text not attachments - can anyone help me?
thanksI'm used to doing command-L to select the address bar, so to do command-L, command-C, click in the mail message, and hit command-V doesn't seem like much work. But that's me. I also found that if I drag a URL from the address bar it does put the link in without a web shortcut. But if I wanted to send a link in an email, I'd just hit shift-command-i, which opens a new mail with the link in it.
Just some thoughts.... -

even though all of my Safari windows are closed, what do I do?
Keep in mind that on the Mac, even if you close all windows of an application, the application itself may still be running with no windows open. If you have closed all Safari windows, look at the Dock to see if there is a glowing dot under the Safari icon. If there is a dot, Safari is still running, so click the Dock icon and then choose Safari/Quit Safari.
As an alternative to looking for the dot under an application in the Dock, I often use the Command-Tab keyboard shortcut to display the Application Switcher so I can see which applications are still open.
You don't have to open Activity Monitor to quit a program unless there really is no way to way to do it from the normal interface.
The only applications that quit when you close the window are the ones that only have one window, like System Preferences. -
I click on the Safari logo, page opens but then quickly after closes and the message "Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly" opens with a whole load of computer jargon below.
Any ideas how to fix?
ThanksThis crash is caused by a bug in the way Safari synchronizes with iCloud.
Uncheck the box marked Safari in the iCloud preference pane. You may also need to do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmarks as you wish.
Select from the menu bar
History ▹ Clear History
and confirm. As far as I know, you don't need to reset Top Sites, but I'm not sure of that.
You can then try to re-enable Safari in iCloud. It may start to crash again. In that case, you'll have to leave synchronization disabled until a more permanent solution turns up. Sync bookmarks with iOS devices in iTunes instead. -
The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?
Help, please.Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I downloaded lion yesterday now safari is giving me problems. Safari is not allowing me to quit. When I go to click on "Quit Safari" it is not in bold thus i am not able to close the application or even shut down my Mac. Plz help.
I know thats an option, but that not the proper way of closing safari or even logging out. I downloaded Lion on both my Macs and now Im having issues with both of them. And same issues for that matter. Safari freazing and the Quiting issue. Not good.

Lately, I've been getting a blue screen in the midst of working and have to do a cold reboot to end it. Seems to happen when I'm closing windows or quitting applications. Not always, but sporadically. What causes this? I'm using 10.6.8 on early 2011 MBP. Thanks for any help/advice!
You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

Safari freezes when I click the Share button or when I try to right-click on the URL to copy/paste
The Address bar and Share functions in Safari cause it to crash/freeze when I try to share or copy/paste the URL. Any ideas/solutions?
Might be an incompatible Safari extension or plug-in causing the freeze ...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that off if there are any installed. Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn extensions back on then uninstall one a time to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here. -
On several different occassions, I have hit the back button on Safari and it goes baack to a page several sites earlier. The URL displayed is the correct one (the one preceedin the page), but the page is not the one that the UL is saying it is - sometimes it is an entirely different domain. Any ideas anyone?
SassWith Safari open, press Command + Option + E on your keyboard (empties the Safari cachee) then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, empty the cache more often.
BTW, the Safari 5.1.10 update is available for download > Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard -
I can't close Safari. the " Quit Safari" is not highlighted.
Any Idea's whats wrong?
No idea what's wrong but that also just happened to my wife on her OS X Lion MacBook Pro. The little "x" that normally appears when you hover over a tab did not show up either, though tabs could be closed through File -> Close Tab. I ended up force quitting Safari, and when we opened it up again it loaded every single webpage my wife had visited in the past week... with each page in its own window. Closing all those was a pain, but the "Quit Safari" and the "x" on the tabs were back and the next time we quit and reopened Safari it behaved normally again (just one window opened to the home page).

I cannot quit safari, tabbed webapges, or turn off the PC or restart.
I have a Snow Leopard Mac book pro and first I had no sound until I used the software volume and mute buttons. Like a jiggling. That worked but now safari won't quit and the quit safari button is greyed out. Tabbed webapges have no x for closing. I cannot restart or shutdown or power off. Please help thanks.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try to force quit Safari. To do it, hold Control, Command and Esc keys, select Safari in the window that will appear and force quit it -
CLARIFICATION: This appears to be a Mac only issue.
In Firefox 4, closing a firefox window (perhaps only the last firefox window - I only ever use one window) would ask you if you wanted to save your tabs as long as you edited your about:config so that browser.showQuitWarning was set to true, but after upgrading to Firefox 5, this no longer works.
I've managed to set up Firefox 5 so that if i quit the application my tabs are saved without asking and they are restored upon re-launching the Application, but at least in OSX Snow Leopard, closing the only open window while leaving the Application running causes Firefox to forget your tabs and I've been unable to find a way to restore or proactively save these tabs.
I've started to change my workflow to always quit Firefox 5, but every now and then I forget and close the window instead, and *poof*, there go my tabs.
Is there any workaround to this problem?'''Solution:'''
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
# Select the General panel.
# In Startup, "When Firefox starts:" don´t select "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
# Click "OK" to close the Options window.
To see “Save and Quit” button to save all the URL’s and open tabs before closing Firefox:
* Type "about:config" in Firefox address bar and choose “I will be careful, I promise”.
* Type "quitwarning" in the Filter box and hit the Return key.
* If you should see an entry named "browser.showQuitWarning" with a value “False”, double click the “Value” field and change it to “True”. If the entry don´t exist, create it.
