"Pin tab" in Safari

I'm just wondering if Apple developers know about the existence of other browsers, such as Google Chrome.
No, seriously, is it that hard for a multi-billion dollar company to implement pinning tabs in Safari?

To add a Pinterest icon to your Home Screen do the followiing:
In Safari:
Go to the Pinterest Website - http://pinterest.com
Touch the Share icon at the top (looks like a box with an arrow coming out)
Touch Add to Home Screen

Safari 5.1 Pin Tabs?

In Safari 5.1, is there a pin tab option, like Chrome and Firefox? I looked for an extension, but I also cannot find a search button in the Extensions library of Safari.

I am sorry to say it is not possible I did alot of reasearch and it did not show up.
How To Optimize Safari for a more Chrome-like Experience
While I prefer Google’s Chrome web browser, lately I’ve been switching back and forth between Chrome and Safari for different tasks. (Evernote for example works much more seamlessly with Safari, as a quick perusal of the Chrome plugin page will tell you.) If you prefer Chrome, it’s easy to get frustrated with the lack of consistency between the two browsers but there a couple of tips and tricks you can implement in Safari for a more Chrome-like experience.
Extensions
With the introduction of Safari 5, users can now customize Safari with extensions much the same way they can in Chrome and Firefox. To install an extension, navigate to the Safari drop down menu and click on Safari Extension Gallery, which will bring you to the microsite seen above. There’s been an impressive amount of development on Safari extensions, and while there aren’t as many available for Safari as there are for Chrome, here are a few I’ve found hepful in replicating some of the better built-in features of Google’s web browser:
Reload Button by John Siracusa: One of my pet peeves with Safari is the lack of a proper Refresh button in the toolbar bar. This extension placing a Refresh button adjacent to your address bar; you can change its location by navigating to the View menu in Safari and selecting Customize Toolbar.
Add to Google Reader by Rob Wilkerson: I’ve never got the hang of Safari’s built in RSS reader and it’s always left me frustrated anytime I try to use it. This extension links the RSS button to your Google Reader account and replicates the functionality of the orange RSS button in Chrome. Now you can add your favorite RSS feeds to Google Reader or iGoogle by simply clicking the RSS button in the address bar!
Tab Support with GlimsOne of my biggest frustrations with Safari is the tab and search support Safari offers when compared to Chrome. Tab manipulation in Safari is very limited. By default, users can open and close tabs or move them to another window or position in the same window and that’s about it. And unfortunately, there aren’t great options in the Extensions gallery for better tab controls. After some digging online, I came across Glims, a Safari plugin that adds a bunch of features to make Safari tabbing more useful. (Get it here: http://www.machangout.com/) Installing Glims will add a Glims icon to your Safari Preferences pane, where you can add or change your Tab functionality. Here are some of the Chrome features Glims enables that I’ve found particularly helpful:
Favicon on tab lables: This is a nice feature that allows you to quickly identify your tabs. Turn this on by navigating to the Tabs Misc option list in your Glims Preference pane.
Undo “Close Tab”: Unlike Chrome, Safari’s built in Tab pane doesn’t include an undo option. Glims doesn’t add this option to the tab dropdown pane but does enable the feature through a command key, CMD-Z. You can enable this feature my navigating to the same Tabs Misc option list in the Glims Preference Pane.
Tabs Re-opening: Chrome offers users the option to automatically restore open tabs from their last session. While you can also restore previous tabs in Safari, you must manually enable this feature every time by navigating to the History menu and clicking “Restore Windows from Last Session”. Installing Glims automates this feature by default; if you want to more control of when and how tabs reopen from a previous session, check out the Tabs Re-opening option in the Glims preference pane.
These are the tab features I use most but there are three whole tab menu options in Glibs that you can play around with. Other features include a focus feature for the last selected tab, tab positioning options and the ability to always open links in a new tab. One Chrome feature that hasn’t been included in Glims that I would like to see is the ability to pin tabs but all in all, this is a very good tool for optimizing your Safari experience.Search Support with GlimsGiven Chrome is a web browser built by Google, you’d expect that the application’s search functionality to be better than Safari’s. In addition to bettering tabs in Safari, Glims adds some search capabilities that replicate a number of Chrome’s built-in features into Safari.
Customize Search Engines: Glims allows users to change the default search engine in Safari’s toolbar search field and also make your own custom searches from the preferences pane. The plug in comes with a predefined set of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Wikipedia, Amazon, and Wikipedia.
Setting search keywords and shortcuts: One of my favorite features of Chrome, this lets you create and assign keywords for specific searches. For example, I’ve created the keyword shortcut “WP” for wikipedia searches. Instead of running a search and then clicking from the menu for my result, I can simply begin a search with WP then type the subject I’m looking for, press return and Safari will automatically bring me to that wikpedia entry. An added bonus of this feature is that it works directly from the address bar, just like in Chrome.
Search suggestions: Glim provides search and link suggestions in a dropdown field similar to Chrome, so if you see the result you are looking for while typing simply click on it to navigate to that page. This replicates the Google Instant feature option in Chrome.
I hope you’ve found these tips for Chrome-ifying Safari helpful. If you’ve got any additional tips or suggestions, please share them in the comments section!

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion?

Not once the tab has been closed. If it hasn't, clicking and holding the Back button will display the titles of recently visited sites in that tab.

Pinned tabs stay highlighted

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029649 /questions/1029649]''
I use pinned tabs for Facebook, Twitter, and emails. The blue highlight feature for new notifications is staying on continuously even though I've addressed the notifications. This is a recent development in the last week or so.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

How do I resize pinned tabs/deal with tab group problems in Firefox 22?

With the automatic update to Firefox 22, my pinned tabs have ballooned in size; not only does this look horrible, but it reduces the real estate available for other tabs. While NoSquint has sorted the issue with websites randomly resizing themselves, everything else (add-on menu, toolbar icons) has also increased in size, which affects what can be displayed.
Another problem with 22 is that my tab groups are no longer behaving normally: I click on one group and another group moves around the screen, typically jumping behind the original group I clicked on. Any suggestions for how to improve these problems are much appreciated.

hello, firefox 22 is now respecting the pixel density you've set on a system level in the windows control panel > appearance > display. more information about that is availbale at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller
if you want to set the text size/pixel density in firefox different from that of your system's settings like it was handled in prior versions, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''. double-click it and change its value to '''1.0''' (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose; 0.8 equals 80%, 1.15 is 115% and so on..., -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).

Privacy tab in safari 5.1 preferences is empty.

This is a screen shot of what I see when I open the privacy tab in safari preferences. Any reasons for this? Help!!!

Just spent an hour at an Apple Store with 2 Genius' and was not able to resolve the issue. This issue exists on both my Macs. One is running Lion and the other Snow Leopard. We checked other systems in store and none of them had problems. I suspect that this problem came as a result of an OSX / Safari update at some point because I haven't always had this problem. Safari Preference Pane isn't something that I (and I suspect many) people get into very frequently, so there's probably others with this problem (they just don't know it yet).
I did find that if you're using Lion which will re-open where you left off once you quit, that the following "work around" seems to work consistently. Open the preference pane that's blank (i.e. Privacy or Extensions). Next, quit Safari without closing the Preference Pane. Relaunch Safari and the Preference Pane appears displaying correct content. The strange thing, at least on my Lion system, is that the Blank Preference Pane flips between Privacy and Extensions. But, I'm able to correct the Preference Pane I need by going through this procedure. Again, this does not work for Snow Leopard because it won't re-open where you left off.
I've tried reinstalling Safari and nothing changes. My (and the Genius Bar's) opinion is that a "Fresh Install" is all that will probably fix this. Not an option for me at this point, so I'll just get along for now.
Wishing all with this issue the Best and I hope someone eventually comes up with something other than a "Fresh Install Option".

When opening a new tab in Safari, the spinning wheels appears

Please help, I have very basic skills on a computer, so please make this simple and easy!!
When I open a new tab in Safari, it freezes and the spinning wheel appears. It stays on there for a long period of time and does not disappear. In order to get on I need to Force closure in Safari and restart the computer. Sometimes this will solve the problems and sometimes it needs to be restarted a few times.
This is really annoying and stops me using my mac.

When opening a new tab in Safari...

Is there a way to keep Safari from opening up my recent searches window every time I make a new tab in Safari?
I find it annoying that it always pops down And gets in the way of the bookmarks bar etc.

Clearing Safari's history : Settings > Safari > Clear History
Then close Safari completely and when you re-open it your search history should have gone (though focus will still default to the search box). To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

How to get AppleScript to close a specific tab in Safari?

I want to use AppleScript to close a tab in Safari.
My scipt opens when my computer turns on, opens Safari, opens a new tab, goes to my schools website and automatically logs me into their internet.
After that, I want it to close the tab that it just did all that in. How can I do this? I don't want to close all tabs, just the current tab. This is what I have so far...
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
          tell application "Safari"
                    open location "URL goes here"
delay 5
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
What code do I need to add to close this tab?
Thanks!

Nevermind. I figured it all out. Now, this will open Safari, log me into the schools internet, close the corresponding tabs, and minimize Safari.
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
          tell application "Safari"
delay 5
                    open location "URL goes here"
delay 2
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
                    end tell
                    delay 0.25
                    set winlist to count of every window
                    repeat with i from 1 to winlist
                              close (every tab of window i whose name = "webassign")
                              close (every tab of window i whose name = "user identification portal")
                    end repeat
                    set miniaturized of window 1 to true
          end tell
end tell
