Need Lion Safari to open in same tabs

To get pre-Lion Safari to open preddefined tabs the discussion in thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/10954686#10954686 worked fine. Unfortunately it doesn't work under Lion. What is the magic to get Safari to open desired tabs when launched, and only those? I don't want to close every open tab when I close Safari. I want to Quit Safari and then have it open the next time just with my preferred tabs.

I discovered the above works but only after disabling Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps under the General icon of System Preferences. All is well.

So Is there any suggestion for this..???

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

I have an iMac, 2015 model. operating on OS X 10.10.2 and whenever I click on just about everything in safari it opens a new tab with an ad on it. sometimes the ads are mackeeper or video hosting sites but they are just so annoying.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

When I right click on mouse, url opens in same tab

when I right click link on mouse, url opens in same tab instead of getting dropdown window to choose, open in another tab. how can I right click n open dropdown to select 'open in another tab'? use to work perfectly.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Safari always opens on a tab

I didn't use my computer for a few days. Now that I started using it again, I noticed that Safari always opens on a tab. I have Safari set up to open to a blank page and when I open Safari the blank page opens on a tab. I like tab browsing when opening links or browsing multiple pages, but if I'm only looking a one site, I don't want it to open on tab. I have looked in Safari's preferences and there is no way of removing this. Like I said, I don't want to disable tab browsing because it is useful when browsing multiple pages, but I don't want Safari to open on blank screen on a tab. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
P.S. I'm using Safari 3.1.2

So when you start Safari, you get the Tab bar automatically, right? If so, then you invoked that by accident. To get rid of it, press Command-Shift-T.

Everytime I press a bookmark, it opens in same tab. I would like each bookmark to open in a new tab.

When opening bookmarks,,they open in same tab.
How can I get each bookmark or link to open in new tab.
I have tried different settings in options/tabs and nothing chances.

You can middle-click a bookmarks to open the bookmark in a new tab just like you can with other links.

Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab when clicking on a link?

When one clicks on a link on a page in Safari a new tab is opened. This is fine if the link is to a different site. However, it is annoying when navigating through the pages of a single site such as is required, for example, in on-line banking. Firefox seems to be smarter in this regard, opening a tew tab in the former case but not in the latter. Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab each time?

Safari Preferences > Tabs (in Safari 7)
There is an option there for specifying how new pages open

Safari prefs open Pages in Tabs "Always" not working??

For some reason Safari "open pages in tabs"+"always" setting has just stopped working. Tabs can be created by opt-clicking, or from within the tab menu bar but NOT by clicking on a link in a page - which it used to. I have deleted Safari plist and cache but no luck. I have made numerous changes in the prefs menu and saved and reset and relaunched Safari but it does not work. I used to be able to open every link into a new tab just by clicking but this has just stopped happening and there was no new software added to Safari. Restart of machine does not help either. Any clues? Thanks and cheers! Sam

Reinstalling the same version of Safari would have no effect. What I'm asking is whether there was a change in the behavior of the same version (not the same copy.) If there was, please link to a page that exhibits the change and specify exactly what it is.
It's normal for Safari not to open all links in a new window, regardless of settings. The effect of that setting is to open pages in a new window when the page code calls for them to open in a new tab. That's all.

Safari always opens new windows/tabs

Every time I click on a link Safari opens a new window or tab instead of just going to that link in the window that I am in. So when I close Safari I have multiple pages/tabs open. It used to just go from page to page without opening new windows or tabs. What setting needs to be changed to get back to the single window?

I figure out what the problem is. I set the Google search to open link in new window, and then it can be opened in tab with one tap. Thanks for help!

Safari links open in new tab

hello.
I just encountered wierd behaviour, on my 2011 base 13 MBP. I'm pretty sure this wasnt happening before
Example-
I search for "downloads" in the google box on my toolbar. It loads the results. I click on the first result, which opens the link in a NEW tab.
I want the link to open in the same tab.
How can I make this happen?
thanks
Gaura

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Firefox keeps opening the same tabs on startup instead of the ones from last session

OS is winxp and firefox 3.6.8. This has been fine for a number of months. When closing FF it asks to save tabs and settings and I ok it. But it keeps opeing the same tabs from a week ago.
Can you help?

A couple of things to check.
Check to see if Firefox is set to open to your home page, if so have the sites that open been set as the home page. Those settings are on the [[Options window - General panel]].
Another possible cause is the file that stores details of sessions may be corrupt. You can delete the files that have details of sessions to see if that helps. Firstly you need to access your profile folder, for details of how to do that see the [[profiles]] article. Once you are in your profile folder, close Firefox and delete ''sessionstore.js'' and ''sessionstore.bak'' (the second file may not exist)

Safari 5 - Opening a new tab does not make it active

In Safari 4 if you open up a new tab, whether or not the "When new tab or window opens, make it active" option is checked, the new tab becomes active. In Safari 5 creating an new tab does not make it active. It doesn't matter what the option mentioned above is checked or not. I have to explicitly click on the tab to bring in in focus. Interestingly, in S5, creating a new window does bring the new window into focus.
Anyone else seeing this?

But do you have the same problem as I, i.e. that tabs cannot be opened at all without launching Top Sites when using Saft?
This problem is much more serious than the non-focus problem. Here's another report of the same issue:

Safari not opening webpages in tabs

Ok, so I've got Safari 4.0.4 and Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and Glims 1.0 build 23. I have set all my settings in Safari, System Preferences, Secrets, and Glims, to have Safari load new pages in tabs. HOWEVER, when I click on a link in, lets say, Mail, Tweetie, iChat, ANYTHING, it always loads a new browser window. This would be fine, but it is very cumbersome to have this many windows open, as I usually read 10 articles one after another.
The only way I can get a new tab to open is to Command+Click on a link in Safari and it will open just fine.
Any clues? Do I need to completely trash Safari and all its files and re-install it? Do I need to give up Glims?
Oh yeah, I also have Adblock Safari installed but it doesn't run because I haven't told Safari to run in 32-bit mode.

Any clues? Do I need to completely trash Safari and all its files and re-install it? Do I need to give up Glims?
There's nothing wrong with Safari, so deleting it won't solve anything for you.
Your Safari preferences file could be corrupt, so to find out and correct that, do this:
Quit all running applications.
Go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Restart Safari, setup your preferences again for everything, then test it to see if the problem continues.
And you shouldn't run Safari in 64 bit mode; you gain nothing except problems with plug-ins and Input Managers that aren't 64 bit compatible.
