Reopening Safari 6 doesn't restore open tabs

Is there a way to have Safari 6 reopen the tabs that were active when it is closed and reopened?
Thanks.

Yes, It works for me
I unchecked it and Safari is back to its original behavior.
I had two major problems before I uncheck this box
Everytime I start Safari 6 it starts in the windowed mode, I have to set it to full screen everytime.
I wasn't able to restore tabs everytime I start Safari.
Now, the above was solved.

Firefox doesn't remember open tabs

When Firefox restarts, it just starts with https://www.google.com instead of my previously opended tabs and windows (including my standard fastened tabs of gmail, google+, google calender and facebook). The problem arrived with version 29. The option of using the last session as standard is greyed out in settings.
I'll go back to the last working version of Firefox while you fix this one. Version 29 is obviously not ready for use yet.

Are you using the firefox in '''Private Browsing Mode''' if so, it won't remember your opened tabs.
if not, reset your firefox
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 and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
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.

FF 5.0 - when I close it, say with 5 tabs open, then later open it again, 5 blank windows open, it doesn't restore my tabs or sites.

FF 5.0 is not reopening the tabs I had open when I closed it. It opens the number of blank windows corresponding to the number of tabs I previously had open.

Hi glivezey,
Try typing ''about:home'' into the address bar. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and save it as your homepage. If that home page doesn't show up the next time you start Firefox, you should look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

ICloud tab not showing open tabs

When I click iCloud tab in safari, it does not show open tabs on browser on pc. My pc browser is IE

Hello vera75,
Take a look at the requirements for icloud tabs outlined here iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5372.
System requirements for using iCloud Tabs
Make sure that:
Your Macs have OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6 installed
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch has iOS 6 installed
Keep in mind that while iCloud Tabs is only available for Macs with OS X Mountain Lion installed, and devices with iOS 6, you can still use normal iCloud Bookmarks to sync saved Bookmarks and Reading List content between any devices that meet the iCloud system requirements.
All the best,
Sterling

When Safari opens all of my favourites come up as open tabs. I have tried changing settings and deleting and reopening! I removed all favourites but still all open up at start?

When Safari opens all of my favourites come up as open tabs. I have tried changing settings and deleting and reopening! I removed all favourites but still all open up at start? I have set a homepage and that doesn't come up upon starting safari either?

There are several options in your prefs. See these in order
EDIT: CellarDwellr just gave you a possible answer

Like Firefox, can Safari restore its tabs when (closed and) re-opened?

If Firefox contains open / active tabs and is closed, those tabs (and their history) can (via a setting) be restored when Firefox is re-opened.
Can Safari restore its tabs when it's re-opened as well?

In my Safari for Windows (5.0.5) I've got a "Reopen all Windows from previous session" command. (In my History Menu.)

When I close and reopen firefox, it restores my tabs, but it restores tabs from hours or days ago, not the ones that were open when I closed the window - why?

I normally keep my Firefox window open for long periods of time because I have a lot of active tabs. When I close the window and reopen it, I am still able to restore tabs, but as of a few weeks ago, it has stopped restoring the most recent version. Normally, when I would close and reopen, the tabs would be the same ones that were open when I closed the window. Now, it restores to a version from a few days ago instead of the current version. I have to revert to pulling my more recent tabs out of the recent history. I checked my options and I can't figure out any way to control this. How can I fix it so that I can count on my Firefox window to restore the tabs that I actually care about?

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Single safari window doesn't open in Tab

I just reformatted my system and installed all software again. My config is: Lion 10.7.3, Safari 5.1.5.
In the past, when I opened Safari, even a single window opened in a Tab, now when I open just one window (i.e. only one Tab), it doesnt open in a Tab, , only when I do a Command + T to add another Tab, does the first window convert into a Tab. The resulting problem is that if I want to drag one window to another (where the first one has only one Tab), I cant do that, since it doesnt appear as a Tab, which means there is nothing to select and drag to another window.
I hope I have been able to explain this clearly.
Can someone pls help me with how to ensure that even a single window of Safari opens as a Tab (it looks like the pre-tab era).
Thanks in advance.

Okay, that was simple, but then, I always had 'Hide Tab bar' greyed out when I opened other tabs using Command+T, and thats why I guess I missed it.
Thanks:)

Cloud button in safari doesn't show any open tabs

Since I am not starting mountain lion with brand new Mac, how can I use the cloud button in Safari to show all open tabs on my other devices? What I have read says to sign in with apple ID during initial set up. All other cloud features in mountain lion seem to work.

That button works with the Macs you have got with Mountain Lion, and it will be added in iOS 6, so you must wait

Safari opens Tabs again, even after quitting them!

Hi guys,
I'm having some annoying troubles with Safari for about 2 weeks now...
When I quit Safari, it should normally reload all my last opened pages (f.ex: google, facebook,apple and twitter), but instead it ALLWAYS reopens the same 2 tabs (some minecraft site + facebook). this is pretty annoying because it does not go away. I've allready tried everything... closing tabs with cmd-W before quitting safari, checking and unchecking the "reopen windows" setting (wich btw rechecks itself after I quit an reopen "system preferences").
anyone out there having the same problem?
please help me
thank you

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
Quit Safari if it’s running.
Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the folder that opens (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Try Safari again. If it still doesn’t work right, quit again and move the following file to the Desktop:
Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Cookies/Cookies.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.

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.

You need to update some plug-ins:

Is there a way of wiping ALL Safari data, i.e. restoring Safari ? I think my Safari has a virus..as every time I open it, a web page called 'search quick' comes up. Its bombarded my Safari with constant pop up adverts almost every time I click!

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 the browser opens, I want to be able to open all my open tabs from the last session or have a blank home page if there weren't any tabs to reopen. How do I set the homepage to do that?

When Firefox starts up I would rather have a blank page for the homepage if I didn't have any tabs from my previous session to open up. There doesn't seem to be an option for this. The choice is to either reopen last session tabs OR blank page but does not seem to allow for "if no last session tabs, then open blank page" If it does, then please tell me how.

Safari doesn't stay open

I'm having the same problem, but can't execute any Safari menu options because it doesn't stay open long enough. Can't even Reset Safari.
Installed 5.0 and it won't open. Continually get the "Reopen" window that sends a a report to Apple. The usual Safari window never gets beyond the URL line before it destructs. I backed up to ver 4.0.5 and get essentially the same result. It does however, try to populate the page, but stays in "Loading" mode for up to a minute or more and then disappears under the "Reopen" error window. I've done the Repair Permissions step with no improvement. Whatever ver 5.0 brought with it has poisoned all previous versions also.
