Safari 2.0.2 tab behaviour

In the latest incarnation of Safari, version 2.0.2 (416.12), which i assume came with the 10.4.3 update, the tab behaviour is really weird
It seems when I close a tab it moves to the previous tab you were looking at rather than in previous versions where it would move to the tab to the right - this has been driving me nuts the past week since i upgraded to 10.4.3
I'm assuming it's a recent change, as i would've started getting annoyed with it before if it did it like this all the time
Anyone know if it's possible to revert Safari's tab behaviour back to as it used to work because it's driving me more and more up the wall
G4/450 Powermac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Welcome to Apple Discussions, stony!
I was wondering of you have any Safari add-ons that might create a mild incompatibility like maybe Saft, SafariStand or something similar?
Cheers!

Safari hangs on new tab and slows switching full screen apps..

Hey guys,having problems with safari,when a new tab is open which displays all the most visited sites,it lags wayyyy toooo much when switching to other full screen apps,this happens only in new tab and while showing visited sites not when another website is open...i have updated to the latest os 10.8.3,and this just started happening a month back,just yesterday safari was hanging with everypage,i did a full reset and then the same problem,please help..i don like to use other web browsers at all..

I agree with everything you said about full screen apps, mission control and launchpad. For apps that made sense to run full screen, they already could under SL. Launchpad is totally unnecessary and Mission Control is a mere shadow of Expose and Spaces.
However, I feel you have not given due credit to Spaces. The point of Spaces is to let one organise logical desktops for different tasks, not just a way to reduce the number of windows on display. For example, I have a Space for software development where I run Xcode and the iPhone simulator, a Firefox window showing perhaps documentation or some other websites pertaining to software development, a Finder window that is opened in the folder with my design docs. I have another Space where I have the remote login sessions, yet another Space with another Firefox window where I do general surfing and emailing. I can switch between these spaces using a keyboard shortcut, which is much quicker than having to lift my hand off the keyboard, move it over to the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the Dock, find the app and click on it, only to find that it has switched to the wrong window of the app.
Without Spaces, organisation of my desktop is disrupted each time I want to switch task, whereas Spaces allows me to drop everything I am doing, go and do something completely different for a while and go back to my exact previous environment. I have a 27" iMac so am not short of screen space but I use Spaces extensively. BTW, switching Spaces using a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster on SL than the equivalent on Lion, thanks to the gratuitous screen animation of the latter.

My safari opens new unwanted tabs

my safari opens new unwanted tabs how can I prevent it?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. 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.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Each tab, when selected, has a small x on it for deleting--Apple Store

I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex

I am super frustrated with Safari in ios 7. I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex look of the tabbed windows. So I can see the pages. Hope this is making sense. Why am I not seeing the pages button on the bottom right of Safari?
Thanks!

Bummer! Hopefully this will change in the future. At least I know now that I am not crazy for not seeing the pages icon! Thanks so much :)

HT4550 safari opens with 5 tabs and the freezes

safari opens with 5 tabs and the freezes

I have been experiencing the exact same issue as eddiethered for the past 2 weeks, I'm having 4 old browser tabs open everytime I launch Safari. This is not an issue of a settings configuration, it is an issue of a bad .plist or cache from what I can tell. Like eddiethered, I have ensured the following:
My default homepage is about:blank, so upon Safari launch nothing other than a blank page should appear.
It is not an issue of restarting the OS and having "Reopen windows when logging back in" checked off, when I restart I ALWAYS uncheck that - but in the past week the same apps seem to relaunch automatically when they shouldn't.
This is not an issue of previously closing vs quitting the Safari browser, I Command-Q all my apps when I am finished with them. Even when I hard-quit Safari, the old 4 browser tabs/websites reappear.
This is not a issue of Login Items as I don't have a single application listed as a Login Item for my Username.
I've also noticed other apps having issues (iChat, Chrome). As of now Firefox is the only browser that is launching without any issues. Yes an OS reinstall could be an option but that is a substantial amount of effort I don't want to invest. Due to the other apps having issues this may be an issue at the OS level and not Safari.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There used to be a extension for Safari called "close all tabs". It is no longer on the extension list. Does anybody know why it was removed?

There used to be a extension for Safari called "close all tabs". It is no longer on the extension list. Does anybody know why it was removed?

Mr. Davis answer is essentially what that extension did. I thank Mr. Davis for this answer as I was not aware of this method. I only brought this up becasue in Lion there is a nasty habit of Safari opening all previous tabs that where not closed when shuting down the computer. This can cause a long delay in opening Safari becasue of all the tabs opening up. The "close all tabs" exstension stopped all this opening process. I have to assume that Apple replaced the extension with the process that Mr. Davis describes, however, the extension was a lot faster. By the way, I have this extension still and I still use it. I just wanted to pass it on to some other users, but guess I will have to give up on that idea.

How can I customize the UI shell close tab behaviour?

I am using JDevelepor 11.1.2.1.0 Version
I Am New In ADF
How can I customize the UI shell close tab behaviour? When i close the tab I ned to rollback the transaction else where when reopen the taskflow it show an error message duplicate key..
So how i can handle?

Download the sample at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2012/12-mar/o22adf-1518265.html . frank states -
The CustomerOrdersCRUD-btf task flow in the BoundedTaskFlows.jws workspace accompanying this sample, for example,
uses the tabContext reference to close the tab displaying the task flow upon rollback and commit—which also is when the task flow is exited.
In addition, when data changes are performed within a task flow, the tab’s dirty state is changed to indicate to the template that the tab title needs to be shown in italics.

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!

(My suspicion is that the tiny antenna inside the
Mini is not as robust in dealing with marginal signal
conditions as the larger antennas in all the other
Mac products
There is, in fact, a reasonable consistency of reports indicating exactly that with the Mac mini. The supposition has commonly been that the nature of the mini's casing has an impact on signal, which seems reasonably possible and would account for lowered sensitivity, less reliable operation in marginal signal conditions, and higher susceptibility to interference.
Though it has to be said that Becca's situation should not, either by range or apparent signal strength, be marginal - particularly not when previous tests have been conducted with the mini in close proximity to the base station.
-- although I'm still open to the
possibility that current airport software in Macs is
less tolerant of some non-Apple routers.
The minis (and other wireless devices) I have in service in the network are variously connected via an Airport Extreme base station, an Airport Express and Belkin and Lexmark WAPs. Range varies between 15 and 55 feet and I've moved various wireless devices around to experiment. In the course of doing this I've noted marginally better signal stability at the 55 foot range between a mini and the Airport Extreme base station, but no real difference in signal quality between any of them.

Safari Doesn't Remember Tabs

Noticed a strange behaviour in Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
When I close the window by clicking the red x in the top left and then re-open, Safari comes up with a blank pages, it doesn't remember any of the tabs I had open.
If however I close it by clicking quit on the Safari dock icon and then re-open, Safari opens back up with all my tabs from the last session.
This doesn't seem right, any advice?

When you quit Safari, (Mountain) Lion's Resume feature will remember what pages you had open and reopen them the next time you start Safari, because that's what the feature is supposed to do.
But when you close Safari's window—not by quitting, but by clicking the red button—(Mountain) Lion assumes that you don't want to see all those window's tabs again. (That's why you closed the window.) So it doesn't restore them when you open a new window.
You should get into the habit of quitting Safari when you want to stop using it, but might want to resume where you left off later. Really, the same goes for all other Apple apps. Closing a window tells the app and the OS, "I don't want this file/page/whatever to be open anymore." On the other hand, quitting the app tells the OS, "I don't want to use this app right now, but I might use it again later, and please reopen the same files/pages/whatever the next time."
By the way, the easiest way to quit an app is to press ⌘Q.

How can I stop Safari from opening 99 tabs automatically

When I first start up Safari - it automatically opens a huge number of tabs (the drop down menu on a tab right click shows an option to bookmark 99 tabs - and there are more tabs opened than I care to count). They appear to all be existing bookmarks; but could also be history.
At one point it would not let me close it at all & because it wouldn't close the OS would not allow a shutdown. So I had to do a hardware power off instead.
I played around with the setting and finnally - after severl hard reboots and a lot of try this & try that - I got it to allow itself to be closed.
But the 99+/- auto opens continue to be a problem. I've tried to completely clear my history, and several other property adjustments - but overall the behaviour remains very very flakely.
I want to make it my default browser on all my Apple things (Macbook / iTouch / iPad) but the very bad behaviour keeps pushing me back to Firefox - sigh. It feels like a very bad user design that cannot be trusted.
Are there some obvious know gotcha's with this browser? Or some standard settings that should never be touched? Or are these common bugs that just don't work right?

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. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with 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).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
