Safari doesn't "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and links from Mail

After a crash I found myself trying to "Reopen All Windows From Last Session", then I found that if I click a link from Mail it does not open it ... as well from any other application. It's like only workin' within itself and can't interact with any other application. Plus I used a lot "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and now it doesn't work

Same thing just happened to me. Reinstalling Saferi did not help.

  • Safari 5 - Lost Reopen all windows from last session

    Do you know, how to make "Reopen all windows from last session" work in Safari 5? I dont have this option in History…
    http://tinypic.com/r/2m6lwfb/6

    I have same issue and here is the solution.
    Suppose you installed SafariStand plug-in, remove "SafariStand.bundle" from your /Library/Application support/SIMBL/Plugins or ~/Library/App....
    I think it makes reopen function doesn't work, however, I still leave that file bcz Toggle Sidebar function is awesome.

  • Safari keeps opening tabs from last session and Bookmarks and favorites. help?

    I recently reset my macbook due to Adware on it. Everything was working fine until yesterday.
    I would open safari up and all the tabs from the previous session were open,not only that even the tabs from the session before the previous were open as well. sometimes the pages won't even load??? Ive looked through some of the tabs and a lot of them are my favorites and bookmarks. Im a college student and I depend on my computer a lot please help me. Im really frustrated I can't use the internet. HELP?

    What are your settings here?  If you have them set to Open with Favorites instead of Empty Page, that means Safari is loading all of your Favorites every time you open a new window or a new tab.
    On the first option, is it set to open with "A new window" or "All windows from last session"?  That would explain one issue.

  • Lost "Reopen all windows from last session" and some of my search history

    Safari seems to turn into a memory hog. When this happens it appears to stop recording browsing history and thus does not reload all the windows I had open. I always restart Safari when it starts hogging memory. Has anyone else been able to correlate Safari not restoring your session to when your computer is maxed out for memory and Safari is hogging most of main memory?
    Thanks.

    HI Alex,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select the General tab.
    Where you see: Remove history items
    Click the pop up menu
    And try maintenance...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    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
    Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
    

Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

  • Finder doesn't reopen all windows on restart

    In Snow Leopard, when restarting, the Finder would remember the multiple windows I had open before restart and reopen those windows. Since getting my new Macbook Pro with Lion, the Finder now remembers only one or two of the windows that were open when restarting. (And yes, the "Reopen windows when logging back in" checkbox has not been unchecked.)

    Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

  • Location of File Containing Data for "reopen all windows from last session"

    I'm a heavy-duty Safari user and usually keep 100+ tabs and windows open, carefully invoking the command "reopen all windows from last session" each time I restart. Unfortunately, I screwed up today and started and quit Safari without invoking "reopen all windows from last session," and all of my open tabs and windows are gone.
    I can recover the tabs manually using my history listings, but there must be an easier way: the information about the last session has to be stored somewhere. I did a Deja Vu backup on Friday and today I copied the files /~user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist and all the files from /~user/Library/Safari, including HistoryIndex.sk, History.plist, and LastSession.plist, from my backup to my hard drive, but the result was unchanged (that is, my 100+ tabs and windows were nowhere to be found).
    Given the time it takes for Safari to shut down, I assume it's storing a large history file somewhere, if only I knew where. Does anybody out there know or could otherwise help my recover from my stupidity?
    Thanks in advance.

    I found a work-around. Since I frequently quit Safari and "reopen all windows from last session" upon restart, my history reflects all of the open tabs and windows contiguously. I thus reloaded the history file, invoked the command "History --> Show All History," found the most recent such contiguous history listing, shift-clicked and selected all relevant listings, and then double-clicked. All of my formerly open tabs and windows were reopened in tabs within a single window. I had to go back and rearrange things but it was far simpler than manually reopening all of those tabs and windows.

  • Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

    I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2.  Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
    For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem.  But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history.  I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
    Please help.

    Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877.  They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support.  Or buy the paid version.  They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
    It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network.  Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
    Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time!  They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update!  I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

  • Lost Preference: "(Automatically) Reopen all windows from last session"

    I was delighted that Safari, under TIGER, finally offered a preference option such that all windows open last session would automatically open when Safari re-starts. This preference seems to be missing under LION. Now I'm back to using the drag-down command "History/Reopen..." every time I restart Safari or my Mac.
    Anyone know of a LION workaround?
    Keith, on Dec1, 2011

    Thanks Carolyn... for the "reminder."
    Ironically, I had read one of your earlier postings to this type of query... and your good advice led me into trouble!
    Since my first re-boot after installing Lion had led to a loss of open Safari windows (for no apparent reason), I ended up misunderstanding your post. After reading your tip, I went into SysPrefs and DISABLED the resume feature... It seemed backwards... but I gave it a try
    Go figure, Resume didn't happen when I restarted my Mac... so I posted this thread, asking if anyone had any other ideas
    You were kind enough to point me back to that SysPreference... and voila... with Resume pref CHECKED the mac performs as we'd like... all my windows (re-)open as Resume is designed.
    I have no idea why it didn't work on my first trial... but it's working just fine now!
    Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction

  • I set the prefferance to show tabs and windows from last session but every time i power down my firefox or my Mac all my app tabs and windows disapear. what's wrong with my settings.

    I set my preferences to '''show all tabs and windows from last session''' and un-checked the box for '''don't load tabs until selected''' but every time I turn off fire fox and power down my Mac all my app tabs disappear.

    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.

    It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
    *when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
    *when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
    #Have you tried that?
    #If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
    '''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
    Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work

  • Safari 5.1.2 opens two of every window when selecting "Reopen all windows from last session" since the latest update.

    Since the latest Saffari update to 5.1.2, every time I close Safari and reopen, and select "Reopen all windows from last session," two of every window opens.  I must go through a long list under the 'Window' menu and select one of eac pair and close them.  What a hassle. 
    Has anyone experienced this as well, and is there a fix?

  • Safari Reopen All Windows from last session greyed out

    Hi there,
    I am using Safari 7.0.6 version. I have a Macbook Pro OS X  10.9.4  I have made sure that under my Safari Preferences/General/ the Close all windows .... is UNCHECKED but I still can't get the "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" to be activated.  I can't even do it manually as it is greyed out.
    Any suggestions? 

    Unfortunately no, but there is a free Safari extension that offers this feature.
    Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
    Once Glims is installed, you can access the settings in Safari > Preferences > Extensions then select the General tab then toggle: Restore Tabs and Launch on.
    Other handy features as well.
    And you can have Glims check for updates automatically.

  • Reopen All Windows from Last Session Sometimes Doesn't

    I guess the title sums it up. Sometimes when I startup my iMac in the morning, after having shutdown the evening before, and open Safari and choose "reopen all windows from last session" I may only get one window instead of the three or four I might have had open.
    I do use tabs so I know I could open them all in one window but sometimes I end up with other windows open anyway, each with multiple tabs. I know I could just let my iMac sleep and leave Safari open but sometimes I end up shutting down.
    Anyway, does it have something to do with the way Safari was last closed? Does it matter if I close each window one by one? Should I simply quit Safari and let all the windows close themselves? How exactly is "last session" defined? I'm probably overlooking something fairly basic but it is a bit confusing.
    Regards,
    Steve M.

    HI Steve,
    If you have multiple Windows open, Safari should reopen those when you relaunch Safari.
    Open a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari if it's open. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari "reopens all windows from last session", move that .plist file to the Trash.
    If that didn't help, Quit Safari. In a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar again. Open the Library folder then the Safari folder. Move the LastSession.plist file to the Trash.
    Thank you for the star.
    Carolyn

  • "Reopen all windows from last session" from an earlier session

    Is it possible through some trick or hidden feature to restart Safari 5.0.6 and reopen all the windows from an earlier session than the last one?
    I recently found a website that crashes Safari every time I visit it. I was runnng with about 16 windows open, but minimized, when i visited this site. I restarted, then visited it again (this was before I knew it was deadly to Safari) crashing Safari immediately. After restarting again, i can find no way to recover the 16 windows that had been open. Safari had been running for over a week when it when down taking the 16 windows with it.
    My environment is Leopard 10.5.8 on a quad G5 with 12 Gb of RAM.
    Any ideas will be most welcome.

    Try this first...
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac. Try Safari.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    If that doesn't help, post a crash report so we can find the underlying cause for Safari quitting unexpectedly. 
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    i can find no way to recover the 16 windows that had been open
