Multiple home page tabs?

Using Safari, can you have multiple home pages? I would like to have 4-5 tabs open different home pages when I open Safari.
Can this be done?
Thanks

or you could try this...
-launch your Script Editor (Applications>AppleScript>Script Editor) and paste the bold code below into it -
-from the Script Editor's File menu select Save As (Command Shift S) -
-from the 'File Format:' pop-up menu select 'application' (for a PPC Mac) or 'application bundle' (for an Intel Mac) -
-make certain that the three Options: 'Run Only', 'Stay Open' and 'Startup Screen' are unchecked -
tell application "Safari"
my new_Tab()
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.naturetrek.co.uk/pics/mp_Tiger.jpg"
my new_Tab()
set URL of document 1 to "http://204.122.16.85/"
my new_Tab()
set URL of document 1 to "http://fohn.net/tiger-pictures-facts/tiger.jpg"
my new_Tab()
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.google.com/mac/"
my new_Tab()
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.apple.com/macosx/"
end tell
on new_Tab()
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "New Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
end new_Tab

  • How can I setup multiple home page tabs?

    I am trying to setup mozilla like I have internet explorer. This is to say with multiple home page tabs on opening. Can I do this, if so how?

  • How to set multiple home pages, the option is gone (replaced my hard drive and had to reinstall firefox) This version seems to only offer tabs, not pages?

    My old version of Firefox had the option for me to set multiple home pages. My hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced, so I had to install the newest version of Firefox. The only option I see when I go to tools, options, general is to set the one home page. (and maybe tabs) I would like to open several of the same pages every time I open my Firefox. Does anyone know how to get this back, or which version had this feature so I can downgrade to that particular version?
    Also, I was wondering if there is a way to get the bookmarks I had on the old version back. I think they are lost forever, but if anyone knows, I would be thankful. I do still have the old hard drive, but the way it failed was actually when you tried to open any browser, the hard drive would go and blue screen, this is why the old hard drive had to be replaced. Thanks. :)

    So you mean you want to open new windows with the same page when you open Firefox?
    [[How to set the home page#w_set-more-than-one-website-as-your-home-page|Set more than one website as your home page]] should help if you want to open multiple pages when you open Firefox.
    As for recovering your bookmarks, you can try to plug that hard drive into a working computer, and then read [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] to copy your bookmarks from it. However, if it is failing you may not be able to do that.

  • When I set up multiple home pages, I get two NEW pages when I click "home"

    Firefox 19.0.2 on XP
    I have always had firefox set up to open two page, so my home page setting reads
    https://www.google.com|https://www.google.com
    When I open Firefox, I get two tabs, both on Google. If I opened a 3rd tab I got a blank page. Just what I wanted.
    Now, suddenly - when I open Firefox, I get my two home pages, but if I'm in Page 0 and click HOME, I get TWO MORE tabs open to my home page (for a total of 4 pages).
    I read online to replace the pipe with %7C but that causes a -27 Service error.
    Something changed inside FF in the latest updates ... how do I get the expected behavior back?

    I have had the same original problem here as dbdataplus12 for a while now concerning having multiple tabs set as home page.
    For my use, I have 4 tabs set up as home pages - each tab being set to a different web address, as I always use all 4 websites whenever I start any browsing sessions.
    I had given up hope of trying to find an answer to resolve it or at least find out why it happens.
    If it's just because it's the way FF works then so be it, and I'm stuck with FF doing something that, as far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't really be doing that way - but I'll have to put up with it anyway ;)
    But having come across these replies to dbdataplus12 query it's prompted me to have to post here.
    I can see why dbdataplus12 basically gave up on trying to get a clear answer to his query. "That said, I'm bored with this entire conversation - and now I will do what true Americans now do in cases like this - I will lower my expectations. "
    So maybe I can explain better what I see as my problem with multiple home pages, what is happening within FF and why I think that it shouldn't be doing things that way, and what I think FF should be doing instead.
    If it turns out that I'm just expecting too much from FF or the people who program FF, or maybe my expectations are too high to have something so obvious be able to be done - that just doesn't happen in FF, or maybe just plain wrong of me to expect certain things from a tool such as FF - then so be it ;)
    As dbdataplus12 said " ... if I set up my home page option with TWO home pages (google | yahoo) then when I open FF I get two tabs with their respective pages loaded."
    When I startup FF I get my 4 tabs opened to their respective web addresses. So far so good :)
    I then use those 4 tabs during my session, and again so far so good ;)
    The problem then happens when I wish to go to my home pages again.
    On clicking the Home button, a new set of 4 tabs open up, each going to their respective web address as they are supposed to.
    Why aren't the original, existing tabs used to go to the home pages?
    I would have thought that it was obvious that when I click on the Home page button that the 4 tabs that are open go to the home pages.
    If I had closed one or more tabs then I would expect FF to open new tabs as required, and use those tabs to go to the relevant home pages.
    If I had opened new tabs myself during my session to visit other web addresses, I would expect that the first tabs be used to go to the Home pages - any other tabs that may be open would stay on their relevant pages.
    That's what I would expect to happen.
    Not for FF to just open up 4 new tabs.
    As I say, to me, it's just plain obvious.
    The first tabs onscreen should be used to open up any Home pages set up, so that whenever the Home page button is pressed those tabs are used.
    And for FF to open up additional tabs, if tabs had been closed and are needed to enable all the home pages to be shown.
    As I say, to me, it's just plain obvious.
    So, if it's just that FF doesn't work that way - then so be it. I'll accept that as the answer and have to put up with new tabs opening every time I press Home ;)
    But maybe someone, somewhere, could think about altering FF so that it uses existing tabs etc instead of just opening new ones. Maybe you could have a setting in the preferences to switch the option on or off to reuse tabs whenever the Home button is pressed.
    Just a really, obvious idea ;)
    Thanks for reading - and hopefully replying.
    And hopefully taking the idea onboard ;)

  • Multiple home pages in Safari

    Is there a way to implement multiple home pages on Safari like you can on Firefox. I don't like Firefox because it takes 2 years to load and looks dumb. Safari is much nicer and I would really appreciate it if Apple could maybe implement this feature in future upgrades.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    only way I know to do this is as follows....
    right click on the bookmarks bar and select add folder. I have created one called 'home'. One by one drag all of the pages you want to open to your 'home' page folder icon.
    From the safari menu select 'bookmarks / show all bookmarks'. This will show you all of your bookmarks. one of them should be your 'home' folder, and next to this will be a column titled 'auto-click', with a check box in it. select the check box. This will change the icon next to the folder in the bookmark bar from a triangle to a square.
    In safari / preferences, under the general section, for the option 'new window opens with' select the value 'empty page'.
    When you open a new safari window, you will get a blank page, but with one click on the 'home' bookmark, all the required pages are automatically opened in separate tabs.
    You can create a number of different 'home' pages in this way, and when you select each one, safari will close all of the existing open tabs and open the new tabs required....
    hope this helps.....

  • Unable to close home page tab or unable to close firefox by closing home page tab (when if that is the only last tab remaining in the browser

    Recently I noticed that I could not close my browser by closing the last tab, which is nothing but home page tab. also noticed that when I open my browser and after opening many other tab if I want to close home page tab I could not close. If I closed it then I cant navigate or surf from that tab.
    This may be due to some add-on causing trouble.
    The problem does not arise in safe mode. Also if I group tab after closing, it is counted as tab but I cant open that particular tab.

    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel

  • Why does my home page tab no longer have the new tab cross in firefox 5

    I have just updated firefox from 4.6 to 5.o, but when I load it the new tab cross on my home page tab is missing. I can put one in by Ctrl/T, but would prefer to use the cross.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the <u>"Restore Default Set"</u> button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Icon in left hand corner of blank home page tab says "Kill Me"- how do I delete?

    I initially saw icon "Kill ME" in left hand corner of location bar. I went to 'view' and clicked on 'customize' and dragged it off and it was replaced by 'google' icon- however the "Kill Me" icon then appeared in the left hand corner of my blank home page tab-

    Do you mean on the bottom of Firefox, or below that, on the Windows Taskbar or desktop?
    If it's in Firefox, I'd love to see a screenshot of that.

  • Is it possible to show the count of number or rows in table on the Home page Tab button.

    Is it possible to show the count of number or rows in table on the Home page Tab button.
    On home page there is a Tab called Count and I want to show the count on the right corner of this tab button.
    Please help

    Create an application item. APP_HOME_COUNT.
    Create an application process:
      make the application process type "on new instance" if you only want this to run once
      make it "on load before header" if you want to have the value set every page load
    application process source:
    select count(*) into APP_HOME_COUNT from <your table>
    modify the tab name to reference the app item, maybe something like "Count(&APP_HOME_COUNT.)"
    result should look like this "Count(5)"
    Good Luck,

  • Despite home page set as default,prefs file being deleted. (twice) it still opens in welcome window, alongside is my home page tab,add on checking doesnt finish .

    everytime I open firefox. checking for add ons flashes up and disappears then welcome page opens, my home page tab is alongside it. I have uninstalled firefox. deleted the prefs file. instructed my privacy programme to ignore firefox all to no avail. I know I can edit user.js but not sure how. I can open it in notepad as instructed in help files but have no idea what to do next and what to edit.

    Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

  • "Use Current Page" to save home pages/tabs is greyed out, even though I have a fresh install of ver. 22 with no added plugins or extensions. How can I fix?

    When I try to save my home pages / tabs, I can't, because this option is greyed out. I even uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller completely, reinstalled with no new plugins or extensions, and it remains greyed out. The only thing that I can do, is pin the tabs, but I wish to be able to use this option. If I can't, I won't know if its Firefox, or malware or? Thank you in advance for any help. Windows 7 Premium SP1, Firefox ver. 22

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Everytime I open Firefox - it takes a really long time and reopens the Firefox Update tab that says "Choose your Persona" and "More ways to Personalize" tab along with my regular home page tab. Sometimes it tries to load the add ons too and takes a reall

    Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Don't remember

    Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
    When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

  • Am I able to have multiple home pages when I open firefox mozilla?

    Internet explorer allows you type in other addresses in internet options and will open them all.

    For details of how to set multiple home pages see the [[How to set the home page]] article.
    To make Firefox open the home pages at startup, in the Tools menu select Options. Go to the General panel, and make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".
