Safari not opening to homepage specified in preferences

On a brand-new MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion, I cannot get Safari to open to the homepage I set for it in preferences. It always opens to the last page open before Safari was closed. Can anyone explain to me how to remedy this situation?

I apologize. I had neglected to consult the "More Like This" sidebar before submitting my question.

  • Safari not opening in homepage

    I'm running Safari 5.1.1 and have ny home page set to us.yahoo.com I quit Safari when I'm done with a session.  When I reopen Safari it goes back to the last pages I had open, not to the homepage.  Is there a bug in the browser or is there something else that needs to be done to have it open where I want it to?

    Perhaps you misunderstood. Close the Safari WINDOW before quitting Safari. There might be some general settings which are later to this, but I'm not at my computer to check...

    Type of copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try setting your hompeage.

    Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3.  They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

  • Safari not opening .asp pages

    safari not opening .asp pages
    i am running safari 6.0.5

    I can't test because I don't have a login, but you can try the following.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

  • Firefox will not open my homepage road runner anymore, but I still get the net. Explorer lets me open my homepage, why?

    Firefox is not opening my homepage anymore which is road runner.
    It tells me that there is a problem with road runner, but that is not true because when I go through Explorer, my rr homepage comes up.

    Try resetting your Homepage.

    I have ipad with IOS 7,  Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
    Now close Safari completely. 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" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot 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.

  • Safari not open 10.3.9

    Safari not open in 10.3.9 but internet explorer does.
    opens just fine in 10.3.8. connects to any site without hesitation. As soon as I download and install 10.3.9 the problem shows up.
    weither upgrade or clean install 10.4 in 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 safari opens as do other browsers but all say not connected to internet. Sometimes can get connected by hitting return a lot to get a page request to go through.
    What can I do to make it work.
    Have been fighting with system 10 since first started with 10.2. Paying for 10.3 and now 10.4. I first tried using 10 on a G3 no luck. Next an imac 333Mhz and even partitioned. Then to G4. Tried 10.3 on the imac and the G4. Never have been able to fully install any version of OSX on imac under any conditions.I AM NOT PLEASED

    Hi Again macyue!

    "...there's also a chance that your failed installation of Tiger and return to Panther has resulted in other problems."
    I suspect that as well, that is why I asked:
    "What procedure did you use to replace the Safari application?
    And what procedure did you use to reinstall Panther 10.3.x, after the failed upgrade?"
    I also suspect that if, after the failed Tiger 10.4.x upgrade, you performed an Archive & Install of Panther 10.3.x, and chose to "preserve your user and network settings", there could be some corruption of the system.
    See this KB Article for info How to reinstall a prior version
    Quoted from there:
    "Important: You should only perform an Archive and Install installation over the same major version of Mac OS X. For example, if your Mac OS X Install disc has Mac OS X 10.3, then you should only perform an Archive and Install over version 10.3 through 10.3.9. "Downgrading" your operating system version to an earlier major version may lead to issues. For example, downgrading Mac OS X 10.4 or later by performing an Archive and Install installation with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier Install discs could lead to:..."
    Could you please also post, how the Tiger 10.4.x upgrade failed?
    And review the KB Articles linked to below.

  • 10.5.4 fix safari not opening?

    For those of you, like me, whohave had safari not open after the 10.5.3 update, I was wondering if 10.5.4 fixed this. I have not had a chance to try it yet. When I try to install the latest safari update it tell me I need 10.5.2 or higher and I have 10.5.3. If this new leopard update fixes safari please post or post a fix for it using 10.5.4, because I have given up on 10.5.3

    Was the update to 10.5.4 only for Safari or was it a systemwide update that just happened to affect Safari?
    It's a system wide update that included some fixes for Safari.
    Add-on programs and some plugins are now invalid with this most recent version
    Your best bet is to wait for the developers of your extensions to update them. It usually only takes a few days. As many people here have found out, attempting to reinstall Safari can cause many problems.

  • Safari does not open to homepage

    My safari preferences are set properly, yet whenever I open safari, it opens to the last page i was on before I quit. This happens on my daughters macbook as well. It has been going on for about the last 2 months, It seems like something so simple  - how do I get safari to recognize the homepage I selected, any suggestions would be helpful, so far nothing I have read has worked for me.!!

    Just talked with support... two options...
    Opton 1 (turns off the new "Resume" feature which is new to Lion...) Under System Prefs, click OFF the check box for Restore windows when quitting and re-openingn apps....
    Option 2... when you quit Safari, include the option key... so option-command-Q to quit... this quits and discards the windows you have open...
    Made my protest to this silly change known... it should be a check box in Safari to load last page, not effect another programs functionability... You're slipping Apple... that's a Microsoft move!
