Safari 5.1 search opens new window

Bug or 'Feature'?
I have seen this raised elsewhere but have not seen a satisfactory answer. I am not sure if everyone is affecte but I installed Lion yesterday and while I am happy with the general performance of Safari 5.1 it has the annoying trait of opening a new window every time I do a search.  Is there a way to make the search result open either in a new tab or in the same window? The preference options in Safari or Google don't help.

By root, I am referring to the part of your hard drive where the Mac OS is installed.  I am using Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, and when looking at the finder window, on the left hand side under "Devices" your primary hard drive should be listed (with a picture that looks like a hard drive and a name).   When you single click on this hard drive you should see some files and folders.  This is what I refer to as the "root" directory.   At this point, you should see a folder named "library".  If you open up the library folder you should find another folder named InputManagers.  If you have Inquisitor for Safari installed on my Mac, then when you open up this InputManagers folder, you should find a file or folder named "Inquisitor".  Drag this to the trash and your issues with Safari (as described above) should be fixed. 
This has worked for me.  And the new Safari is behaving better regarding launching new windows from the search bar.  
Hope this has helped

  • Safari 4 do not open new window

    I was trying to access a bank web page, and at the moment I log in it supposed to open a new window with the links for the statements, on line transfer, etc, etc, however Safari 4 ask if the new page should be open only the first time (that time all went ok), by the next times I tried to access the bank page the new web page never opened and safari never ask again about that page (like if it was saved the answer allowing the page), that happened also on my iPod Touch and in 2 iPhones were I tried.
    Does anybody knows something about how to resolve this issue? specialy on the iPhone and iPod Touch?

    I had the same problem, I solved it be deactivating an Addon, Fast Video Download. Now Firefox works as it should again.

  • 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!

  • Full screen Safari doesn't open new windows

    Hi,
    In my Safari preferences I have "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" set to "Never".
    When Safari has at least one window that is not in full screen mode, then links from other applications seem to open new windows perfectly fine.
    However, when all Safari windows that are open are in full screen mode, then links keep opening in tabs in on of those windows.
    How can I make Safari to just open a new window all the time, even when I only have full screen windows open?

    Hi ..
    Safari doesn't recognize:   mydomanin.direct   as a URL. That's why it's triggering a Google search.
    That's why www. works.

    When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history page etc. Happens on all options that should open new page. I am so frustrated, this has been happening since Firefox updated itself 2 days ago to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) was fine before that. using windows vista. Can you please advise what I should do? Also can you go back to previous version? Error console eg

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Safari opens new windows 1/3 the size of the original window.

    Safari opens new windows 1/3 the size of the original window. How do I make it open fullscreen?

    HI,
    Drag the bottom right corner out as far as it will go. Relaunch Safari. It should remember window position.

  • Safari 5 Opens but no window comes up? Even after I click open new window.

    So i downloaded Safari 5 form the update and then from the full download install.
    My problem is...
    Safari opens.
    but no window opens.
    I go to the top I click safari and go down to "Open new window"
    Still nothing.
    I click to quit safari.
    It says "0,1,2,3 windows are open in safari do you want to quit anyway?"
    (depending on how many times I clicked to open a new window)
    but even tho it is sayign windows are open my computer doesnt show them anywhere.
    any help people?

    Hi,
    Try launching Safari from your Applicatioms folder instead of the Dock.
    If that doesn't help ...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • Links that open new windows in Safari instead of new Tabs...grrrr!!!!

    Why is it that when clicking on a link in a website sometimes open a new tab in the same window (which is great) an other times it opens a completely new window (annoying)? I have already ticked the box which tells safari to open new links in tabs rather than a new window, but it continues to open new windows...although not always. Firefox seems to handle this feature a lot better. Any ideas?

    Funny you should post this. I was just looking for this answer as well and I found this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9343894&#9343894
    thread. Basically, enter:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    in a terminal window and it will change to the behavior you desire. Change 'true' to 'false' to revert back.

  • Safari Right Click Dock Menu Open New Window

    Everyone,
    I have just recently found an issue with safari that I hope someone can provide some insight to. I can only open new safari windows if I go thru the top menu bar. I used to be able to right click on the safari dock icon and click "New Window" and I would get a new window opened up to my default homepage. Now when I click it nothing happens.
    I have noticed that it is only on my profile as it does not happen on my wife's profile. I forgot to mention that it is OS X 10.5.2 Leopard
    I have not loaded anything on the machine other than Apple Updates but it was happening before the updates to 10.5.2. I have tried modifing the pref options but no change.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    Reinstall Safari. Here's how to do it:
    First, move your existing Safari.app to the trash. Next, insert the Leopard Installer DVD. Double Click on the "Optional Installs". Then double click on the Optional Installs.mpkg file. Once open, the Installer will lead you through a few steps. After selecting your HD, the next panel is where you'll find Safari (in the Applications folder. Check the box, then continue.
    After Safari is installed, go to your Applications>Utilities folder. There, open Disk Utility. When open, select your HD on the left, then "repair permissions".

    I have tried to set my homepage to a specific website. However, whenever I open a new Safari window, it always returns to the last page I was at before I closed Safari. Any ideas? I did this under Safari preferences, open new window to homepage...

    Safari is opening using the resume feature. To disable that, quit Safari using Command+Option+Q or Hold Option when choosing the menu item Safari>Quit.

  • Safari 5.1 (5.1.1) doesn't open new window (OS 10.6.8)

    I notice Safari 5.1 (and now 5.1.1) doesn't open new window when ⌘N. The button highlight but no window appears. ⌘T is ok. but not ⌘N.
    Is someone have this problem ? And patch this ?

    Could be the preferences are corrupted ..
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
    If the that didn't make a difference, click Reset from your Safari menu bar. Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
    Restart your Mac.
    Try Command + N in Safari.
    Also, make sure you haven't set up keyboard shortcut in System Preferences / Keyboard - Keyboard Shortcuts that may be causing a conflict.

  • Safari 6 won't open new page on system startup

    I have Safari set to 1) open at login, 2) open with a new window, 3) open new windows with the homepage, and 4) homepage is mail.google.com.
    When I start up the system (rMBP), Safari launches—as is evident by the blue light underneath it in the Dock—but does not open a new window. When I click on the Dock icon, it luanches a new window with mail.google.com, as normal.
    I have seen https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4136348 and related; I don't have Glims, I have the latest version of ML (10.8.2 supp v1), "close windows when quitting an application" is checked. If I check "reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown dialog box, it does just that—but I don't want to do that, I want Safari to open my homepage and nothing else.
    Any ideas?

    One way to accomplish that is to quit Safari before shutting down the computer.
    Best.

  • Embedded links in emails won't open new window or tab in FF.

    Running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and FF Version 3.6.12. I'm using Mail Version 4.4 as my email client and when I try and open an embedded link from an email, the link doesn't open a new tab or window. FF recognizes the link, but doesn't respond with a new tab or window. If I copy and paste the link into the browser the links work fine, so I feel like it's a setting or bug that has been changed somewhere somehow. This problem only happens when I try to click directly from the email. I've tried searching the preferences in both Mail and FF, but can't seem to find anything that fixes the problem. This issue started happening two weeks ago when I did the latest Mac OS X security update. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

  • How do I change the default settings for opening new window?

    Everytime I click on a link, new window would only open in new tab not new window. How would I change this default to open new windows instead of new tab?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences (or Command + comma on your keyboard).
    Click Tabs. You can set your preferences there.
