How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application?  The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work
#You must be remembering history (Options > Privacy > Remember my browsing history).

  • How do I set Safari to prompt me to choose a filename when downloading?

    I can't figure this out at all. How do I set Safari to give me a dialog box in which I can choose my own filename when downloadiing a file? Right now, as soon as I click "download linked file" it just puts the files straight on my desktop with whatever filename was assigned to it.
    This will help me identify files as I often download files saved with numerical names.

  • Safari 5.1.2 opens two of every window when selecting "Reopen all windows from last session" since the latest update.

    Since the latest Saffari update to 5.1.2, every time I close Safari and reopen, and select "Reopen all windows from last session," two of every window opens.  I must go through a long list under the 'Window' menu and select one of eac pair and close them.  What a hassle. 
    Has anyone experienced this as well, and is there a fix? 

    is there a fix?

  • Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

    I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2.  Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
    For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem.  But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history.  I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
    Please help.

    Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877.  They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support.  Or buy the paid version.  They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
    It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network.  Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
    Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time!  They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update!  I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

  • Safari 5 - Lost Reopen all windows from last session

    Do you know, how to make "Reopen all windows from last session" work in Safari 5? I dont have this option in History…
    http://tinypic.com/r/2m6lwfb/6

    I have same issue and here is the solution.
    Suppose you installed SafariStand plug-in, remove "SafariStand.bundle" from your /Library/Application support/SIMBL/Plugins or ~/Library/App....
    I think it makes reopen function doesn't work, however, I still leave that file bcz Toggle Sidebar function is awesome.

  • Safari won't open to 'all windows from last session'

    Safari is set to open to 'all windows from last session' - but it opens to a blank page.  Not every time, but 75%+.  I usually have multiple tabs open, not always the same ones, and this is slow, annoying and tedious to frequently reconstruct where I left it.
    Any ideas?
    I just moved to a MacBook from Windows and I am surprised to have an issue like this crop up so quickly (or well ever - based on Apple's reputation, that is - and all the glowing things my firends and associates have told me)

    Open a Finder window. From the 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.
    BTW, if you enable the Develop menu you can empty the Safari cache easily instead of having to go through your user library.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Then from the Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Develop > Empty Caches

  • Safari 6.0, what happened with option to open with windows from last session?

    Made the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and realized that I don't longer have the option to open Safari with windows from last session (Preferences->General). The option has been removed:

    They don't. I can access them by history ->reopen all windows from last session, but that's not what I want.
    Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me that lost that option on Preferences -> General?

  • How to delete "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" in History?

    I use 5.0.4 in 'Private Browsing', but the above mentioned pull down choice in 'History' still remains active, and leaves my history visible for prying eyes.
    Where is the cache for "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" located? I could not find it in Safari Library. Or is there another way to manually or automatically delete the contents of this file?
    Thanks,
    PP

    Hi,
    Go to ~/Library/Safari. (Tilde) character represents the Home folder)
    Move the LastSession.plist file to the Trash.
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari. Try Private Browsing. You may have an Extension that's causing the problem.
    I don't know of any way to "auto" delete the .plist file but someone else might know of a Terminal command.

  • Safari Reopen All Windows from last session greyed out

    Hi there,
    I am using Safari 7.0.6 version. I have a Macbook Pro OS X  10.9.4  I have made sure that under my Safari Preferences/General/ the Close all windows .... is UNCHECKED but I still can't get the "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" to be activated.  I can't even do it manually as it is greyed out.
    Any suggestions? 

    Unfortunately no, but there is a free Safari extension that offers this feature.
    Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
    Once Glims is installed, you can access the settings in Safari > Preferences > Extensions then select the General tab then toggle: Restore Tabs and Launch on.
    Other handy features as well.
    And you can have Glims check for updates automatically.

  • I set the prefferance to show tabs and windows from last session but every time i power down my firefox or my Mac all my app tabs and windows disapear. what's wrong with my settings.

    I set my preferences to '''show all tabs and windows from last session''' and un-checked the box for '''don't load tabs until selected''' but every time I turn off fire fox and power down my Mac all my app tabs disappear.

    Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

  • 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.

  • Can someone advise how to reopen all windows from last session?

    hi there,
    i already tried to change preferences and i still cant retrive websites from latest session.
    Can someone advise what else can I do
    thank you
    anna

    Like yesterday I was reading something and forgot to save the page and this morning couldn't find it
    All you have to do is click History from the Safari menu bar. The page you were reading should be in the list.
    And, you can "search" your history. From the menu bar click History > Show History
    Type in the name of the website in the search field bottom right corner of the Safari window.

  • I reset Safari and lost my "reopen all windows from last session" windows.

    Is there a way to retrieve those windows after a reset, or from the session before last?  Basically, I had some useful windows open, but don't remember what they all were. 

    If you didn't select Clear History from Safari > Reset click History from the Safari menu bar.
    See if the history trail is still available.

  • Safari doesn't "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and links from Mail

    After a crash I found myself trying to "Reopen All Windows From Last Session", then I found that if I click a link from Mail it does not open it ... as well from any other application. It's like only workin' within itself and can't interact with any other application. Plus I used a lot "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and now it doesn't work

    Same thing just happened to me. Reinstalling Saferi did not help.
