Safari closes existing tabs when opening new ones

I have the latest Safari and iOS (7.1.2) on my iPad. I have been observing that whenever I open tabs on safari, I end up losing the existing tabs on the ipad. Its not immediate but if I end up opening a slightly higher number of tabs (around 15 - 20) , then the old ones gets closed. It doesn't prompt or anything.
Is this normal or something I need to set up on Safari preferences so that it is able to open and hold more tabs open ?
Thanks
Alex

I Don't know if I would say that it's normal because I rarely have that many tabs open. I can tell you that the web pages will keep refreshing the more tabs that you have open. Fifteen to twenty tbs is a pretty large number of tabs to try to juggle at any one time, but I don't know if they should actually be closing on you.
Try giving Safari a fresh start. This will involve clearing all website data and cookies and force closing the app. End the process with a reset of the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now force close Safari. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Does Apple discount existing MacBooks when the new ones come out?

    I haven't bought a Mac in over 10 years and I don't how Apple does business. I want a new MacBook Pro, but I'm not in a super-rush. I can wait another three months, if necessary.
    The current MacBook Pro (top of the line) is more than sufficient for me, it's just a little expensive. I certainly don't need whatever's coming next, but the current 17" is mighty attractive.
    When Apple releases the new MacBook Pro's ... (1st quarter 2010, right?) ... do the existing high-end 2009 models usually sell at a big discount to get rid of the current inventory? You know ... (like car guys say) ... blowing out last years models to make room for the 2010's?
    Is that the cheapest time to buy the previous model? When Apple releases the newest ones?

    There is no "blow-out sale" when the new models come out, at least through Apple. Apple generally keeps a very tight inventory (only a few days worth evidently) on hand, so when new models are about to be released, they are pretty low on inventory of the existing model. In fact, when new models are up for sale through Apple, the older ones disappear from their website/stores.
    Some 3rd party resellers may have discounts on older models, but they too are usually not of the "huge sale" type. A 10% discount is usually pretty generous.
    Other options are to buy a refurbished machine through Apple's website (cheapest option), or if you're a student, faculty, or staff member of an academic institution, take advantage of the student discount (also around 10%)

  • Preview opens previous opened when open new one

    Every time I want to preview a photo, multiple photos I have previously opened also pop up.
    Very annoying! Any suggestions on what to check/change or what I am doing incorrectly?
    Thank you!

    Yep, that's a new Lion "feature". Still buggy in the implementation, in my opinion; as you point out, if you open a specific document, rather than just starting the application, the documents that were open when last run also pop up. And there currently appear to be no way to tailor this, you either have the feature or you don't.
    If you'd rather not have this feature at all, go to the General menulet in System Preferences, and uncheck the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" checkbox.

  • When I scroll click to close a tab, it opens 2 more new tabs.

    Firefox Version 5.1.
    When I scroll click to close a tab, it opens up 2 new tabs in it's place. This happens almost every time.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands.  I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

    Help, please.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : 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.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar

    Hello,
    ''jstavene wrote:''
    can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
    Then it's not the same issue.
    If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
    * [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
    In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

  • Problem creating playlists library window closes when opening new playlist

    library window closes when opening new playlist impossible to drag and drop songs from lib to new playlist

    Hi
    You don't need to open a playlist to drag and drop from your library. Just open the library and drag the selected item or items to the NAME of the chosen playlist (in blue bars on the lower left) and just drop it there. When you hold the items over the playlist name, it will show you a little green dot with a plus sign in it and the number or items being dropped. Then when you are done dragging and dropping you can open the playlist and see that the items were added. Hope this makes sense.
    Good luck!

  • How to stop newtab-page flickering/refreshing when opening new tabs by ctrl-clicking thumbnails?

    Often when opening new tabs from thumbnails in newtab-page (about:newtab) the whole newtab-page refreshes itself or otherwise flickers. This sometimes causes that some new tabs are not opened when ctrl-clicking multiple thumbnails in a row. Does the newtab-page recalculate after every click what thumbnails it should show and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in thumbnail order.)

    Hi FFanatic,
    Please update to version 32 to see if this is still happening. Go to About Firefox and click the update button.

  • 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.)

  • Fading background when opening new window

    Fading background when opening new window. I would like to do a "lightbox" effect that on mouseclick opens a new window over the top of the other windows(s) that has a close button to take the user back to the previous page. I have viewed this in the past, but now cannot find examples. If you have URLS of examples, or better yet, code to make this happen, that would be helpful. Thoughts and opinions on why I shouldn't use this effect are also welcome!

    If you need a lightbox effect, use one the freely available "lightbox" or modal window scripts.
    Fancy Box is well documented and works with images, text, iframes, Google Maps, media, etc..

  • Drummer region starts with fill on 1 bar when open new project.

    Drummer region starts with fill on 1 bar when open new project
    and if I copy a region, say 10 times, they all starts with a fill.
    So my work around is to delete the automatic generated regions
    and make new ones. If I need to copy many regions I copy one
    at a time. Using latest LX.
    Anyone experienced this? Do I miss something in the process?
