How do i get safari to open to home page

after update to Lion, whenever i open Safari, it opens to the last page or tabs viewed rather than my home page.  The only work around i've found is to close the browser windows before quitting.  By doing that, Safari will open in homepage.  If i just quit safari, it will not.

Hello:
Go to system preferences>general.  Uncheck "restore windows when quitting and reopening apps."
Note that this is a global change - for Safari and everything else.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • How do I get Firefox to open my home page whenever I open a new tab?

    I have Google as my home page. Rather than opening a new tab and getting a blank page, I'd like to open a new tab and get Google coming up. I'm fairly certain that this was possible in old Firefox, and would like to know if it is still possible and if so how!?! Thanks!

  • Can't get safari to open with home page

    I have set google as my homepage in Preferences, but Safari invariably opens with the last page I had used before quitting.  I've tried both "Set as Current Page" (being on google, of course), as well as typing in google's URL.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, copy and paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash
    Try resetting your home page.

  • How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

    How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing  defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes   into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

    Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
    Select the "Open With" Box
    Change it to "Preview"
    Then select the box just beneath it

    How do I get Safari to open first to a particular web site?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have to choose that site as the homepage. To do that, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and change the homepage by the one you want, so every time you open Safari, that website will show

    Hi
    My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
    On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
    Good luck

  • How do I get Yahoo back as my home page...Firefox dominates. I had to download Firefox to take and online exam.

    How do I get yahoo back as my home page?
    I do not want Firefox as my home page...It has also wrapped itself around the Internet Explorer Icon on my desktop.
    I do not want to install another program.
    Thank you.

    How about a reply from Firefox by a person.
    I am totally frustrated with Firefox and at this point, I will finish the class as soon as possible so i can remove your program from my computer.
    So again, Help!

  • How do I get Safari to open in Preview?

    I am using Safari 5.0.5; have downloaded Adobe latest version; checked on Adobe preferences/internet to use Adobe. But from Safari PDF files will not open. Get a black screen with no content. How do I get Preview to open PDFs from Safari and thereby avoid this problem. Interesting issue -- this only occurs on iMac with Snow Leopard; my MacBook Air, not using Snow Leopard, opens Adobe from Safari.
    Cheers,

    Hi
    If you want pdf's opening in Safari, using the built-in support (not Adobe) then quit open browsers, go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & remove any 'pdf' plugins. Occasionally, they're in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    If you really want Adobe to do it in browser, and the plugin is in place already - try opening Safari in 32 bit mode. Command-click it in the dock, then File-Get Info, & check the 32 bit box. Takes effect the next time Safari is started up.

  • How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

    Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
    Thanks for your help,

  • How do I get Safari to open a window both full screen and large?

    OS 10.8.5
    Safari 6.1.1
    When I open a new page in Safari it is only half the screen wide and when I fill the screnn the image is still smal so I command +, three times.  Is there a way to make this my default?

    Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
    Select the "Open With" Box
    Change it to "Preview"
    Then select the box just beneath it
    "Change All."

  • How do I get Safari to open on a specific desktop by default?

    I have recently upgraded to Mavericks, I have a TV display connected to my iMac which is not always switched on at the same time as my iMac (I use it for streaming onto a big screen). I have noticed that by default the Safari Application opens in 'Desktop 2' which is my TV display. Is there a way to open Safari on 'Desktop 1' (which is my iMac desktop) automatically? I understand that I could just unplug the HDMI from my iMac but this will become a hassle eventually. Also the TV is not directly next to my iMac so dragging windows from screen to screen can be awkward. So to clarify, my question is:
    With my TV display connected, is there a way to open Safari on 'Desktop 1' (my iMac desktop) by default?

    Wow, I dont have that option at all - nothing below the line under 'show in finder', what can I do?
    My TV screen is definitely connected as I can mirror on/off and choose from Samsung/iMac.
    I've also tried:
    resetting the dock
    disconnecting the display

  • How do I get Safari to open at the home page?

    In Lion Safari 5.1 starts with the last page viewed. Can I switch this to starting with the Home Page, as it did with earlier OSs?

    In Safari preferences General tab set the option to Open New windows with Homepage. If that alone doesn't work go to System preferences General Pane and toward the bottom of the pane you'll see Restore Windows when quitting and reopening apps. Uncheck that. That should do it for you but there is an issue with this in Lion and for some this didn't work. After doing all this restarting the computer may help. If not wait for an update.

  • How do I get Safari to open with homepage

    If I quit Safari with a single or multiple pages open, the next time I open Safari all the pages come back, the pages that were open when I quit the application.
    Even though in preferences I have a homepage selected it doesn't seem to matter.

    Hold down SHIFT when you click safari to open.
