How do I make safari open with blank page but keep resume?

Since Lion, Safari always opens with the last opened website.
I don't want that! How can I make sure that Safari opens
with a full and BLANK screen ???
Specifically I do NOT want to uncheck resume function for ALL
applications. I want to FORCE Safari to open a specific website,
or a blank page - REGARDLESS if resume is on or off !!!
My computer doesn't do what I want!
Is this a ALPHA version???

Here you go:
Go to terminal and type in the following:
defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO
You can also do the same for Preview:
defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

Everytime I open a new tab it comes up with Yahoo, how do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

How do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

I had the same problem, in fact, I'm one of the people who clicked, "I have this problem, too!"
I used to have blank tabs when I would open them, but I downloaded some shady software that I didn't know had add-ons! I tried the "about:config" method and messed around with some of those things but nothing happened. After deleting and reinstalling firefox it still happened, and after doing a computer wide search of 'Ya' or 'yahoo' it came up empty. That told me it's combined with some other program or it's under a different name completely. When I would open a new tab, the url would come up something like:
www.click.1.3.yahoo.com/tab_search_000,00.03 blah blah blah. toward the end of the string though, the word "Freeze" appeared. So I went back to my control panel and looked for the word freeze in anything, even as the host site. I FOUND IT! It was some net assistant bug that downloaded off of some other software I had running. Hope this helps some of you!

PS. even if your word isnt freeze, it may be something else worth searching in your control panel :)

If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.

How do I make file 'Open with...'?

I have been working on graphic files. I want to open my graphic files in Photoshop Elements. It is possible to change the 'open with' option by going to Get Info... and selecting 'open with'...But, that only allows you to open a file with a particular application until you make a change in the file, then after that, it will continue to open with Preview. I want to change the 'Open with' to be permanent, at least until I want to change it. How do I do that?

Right click the file, select Get Info. Scroll down the lefthand side bar to Open With, select PhotoshopElements to open the file and click the button marked Change All.

How do i make webpages open with a new tab everytime

I'm sure this is a goofy question but how do I make FF open webpages in a new window or tab when I click on a bookmark?
I know I can right click and do it manually but is there a way to make a favorite open in a new tab when I click on it?
Thanks,

How to make firefox open a blank page every time i open a new tab

Open With Blank Page?

After upgrading to Lion it seems that I am forced to open Safari with the last page viewed. I prefer to open with a blank page but that option is now missing from the Safari Preferences. Has Apple removed this option from Safari 5.1?

The first time I opened Safari after changing that setting it still came up with the previously viewed page, but since then seems to have resolved the problem.
Apple needs to make it an option in Safari, however, rather than requiring the resume feature to be disabled for all applications just to stop previous pages from loading when Safari is opened.

Firefox won't open at blank page, but always defaults back to Home Page.

I keep resetting Firefox (latest version) to open at a blank page, but it continues to open at the default Home Page. That home page has an unwanted Firefox logo in the middle, with a search bar underneath. I don't want to see any of that when I open Firefox, but can't seem to get rid of it. There is nothing in Extensions or Plug-Ins that could cause this.

I had the same problem. I found a file user.js containing one line:
user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once", true);
I removed this file and problem was resolved.
''This file is in your currently active profile folder, which you can open using the Troubleshooting Information page. To do that, either:
3-bar menu button > ? button > Troubleshooting Information
Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. Here you can find prefs.js and see whether Firefox is updating the file after you change your home page.''

When I click for a new tab, how can I make it open with google as opposed to it being blank?

The new tab always opens (untitled) with no www address. I would prefer it to open with google but cant find this option.

You can look at one of these extensions:

* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

How do I make Safari open PDF's using installed Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0

I would like to force Safari 3.1.2 to open all PDF links using Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0. How do I accomplish this? I have no problem making Safari use the Adobe Reader, however, I would like to use the full Adobe Program so I can save and download interactive PDF forms I have filled out on the web. Using the Adobe reader, you can only download the form itself - all supplied information using the form's interactive features are lost when the filled in form is downloaded.

Hello, Carolyn:
Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it is not working for me. I have both Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0 and Acrobat Reader v. 9.0.0 running on my computer. In either program's preferences both programs are availabe when I choose the program to display PDF files in the browser (Safari). There is no problem setting Safari's PDF handling to the default value.
When I choose Acrobat Reader to be the program to display PDF files in the browser, Safari will indeed use Acrobat Reader. However, when I choose Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0, Safari does not use the Adobe Acrobat program to display the PDF file, rather the file is displayed by the PDF handling features built in to Safari. I have found no way to make Safari use the full version of Adobe Acrobat. PDF files residing on my computer opens without difficulty using my copy of Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0. Do you have any other ideas that would help solve this problem?

How can I stop safari opening with BTFon hotspot on my imac

Every time I boot up, and open Safari, I get BT Fon as my home page.
In my settings, I have yahoo set as my home page, but it makes no difference I always get the BT Fon page.
I have tried opening the yahoo page and then going to "Make the current page my home page" but it doesn't work the next time I open Safari
I've read a lot of correspondence on this issue but it related to iPhones, I didn't see anything relating to imacs.

Firstly adjust Safari to the opening screen you require; then,
Go to Safari menu > Preferences > General. Half way down is the screen you are on highlighted, and below that an invitation to set to current page. Click on that, quit Safari and then re-open Safari. Should now open on the correct page.
