Safari opens multiple windows when I open it

When I open safari it opens multiple windows (260 to be exact) all of the same website and causing a temporary freeze of my computer. Then safari crashes and I have to force quit. Any suggestions? I have already unchecked restore windows in my system preferences.
Thanks

Try to reset safari via the safari menu .. Also if you can quit safari from the safari menu holding down the option key and pick quit and close all windows it might resolve your issue.

Safari loads multiple windows when launching

When launching Safari, multiple windows load (over 20). I have trashed and reloaded the application from the Apple site and all of my software is up to date. I'm running Lion 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7. I have tried "close all windows," "clear history," "empty cache," and "reset Safari," all to no avail.

From the Safari menu bar, select Safari ▹ Preferences… ▹ General ▹ New windows open with: Empty Page.

IE opening multiple windows when searching google only.

We have a problem where IE opens multiple windows when searching in Google. As a result of this we are receiving Google sorry page informing us that Google is receiving automated search requests from our public IP. Is there any quick fix to this problem
apart from restoring and reset setting in IE.
Is anybody else facing this issue.?

How do I stop firefox from opening multiple windows when opening a new one

I start firefox my homepage comes up - perfect....
i minimize this window to open a new window
when i open the new window it opens the first one also so then i have to go minimize the window again
This just started after i updated Firefox
How do I fix?

Check the Home page setting: [[How to set the home page]]: Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

Messages opens multiple windows when selecting it from notifications

I notice that when I click on a new arrival message (iMessage) from notifications popup it will open 4 seperate windows and I can't reply until I close out 3 of the windows. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi,
So you have Messages App open.
However you have also closed (used the red Blob) the main Messages window so that you cannot see any current conversation.
You have the Notification Centre set to Notify on Messages and it does so for incoming iMessages.
At this point you say it opens 4 windows when you click the Notification.
Can you tell what what 4 windows ?
It should only be the Messages main window (Chat window/Interface)
I tried to test this using one of my own iPhones
I picked the one with the same Apple ID and it turned up like synce (no Notification, no sound alert)
I changed iPhone to one that does not use the same Apple ID
I got Notifications and sound but clicking the Notification does not open the main Messages window (I did still have my Buddy Lists on view).

Firefox keeps opening multiple windows when web link to iTunes clicked.

Running Windows 7, 64 bit. Clicked the "View in iTunes" button on this page, https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/smartscan-express-fastest/id533516060?mt=8
Link did not open and instead Firefox kept opening another window continuously until there were dozens of windows opening one on top of the other. The only way to stop this was to Shut Down the PC. This has happened on several occasions and it's always when a link to iTunes is concerned.

Sorry, this can happen when Firefox asks how you want to open something that Firefox doesn't know how to open, but you tell Firefox to go ahead and open it. This article describes the various ways to resolve it: [[Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link]].

Creating Multiple Windows

Hi,
I am trying to create a java applet that links to multiple windows when clicked. Basically I will have an applet with 2 buttons, one saying "show calculator," the other saying "mortgage." Upon clicking each one, it should open the corresponding window. The way I currently have it setup is first I have written the applet wiht the 2 buttons, right under it I have written the Mortgage application, then under that the calculator application. The problem I have now is that both the Mortgage and calculator applications have a main method, therefore, the filename must be named one of those application names (for example the mortgage is setup as: public class Mortgage; the calculator is setup as: public class calculator-both have different names-so I must save the file as Mortgage.java or Calculator.java), otherwise I will get an error. If I create each application in a different file, and for the button action if I set the corresponding file to
true (eg. mortgage.setVisible(true);) i.e if I click on Morttgage in the applet, will it know to look for the mortgage file in the directory then show it? Or am I misunderstanding this? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. As s reference , this is what I have so far:

When I open Safari multiple windows open with previously viewed websites

For some reason since I upgraded to the OS X Lion and Safari 5.1, when I open Safari it opens up multiple windows with previously visited websites. When I close some sites they reopen again in another window. Why is this happening?

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

Multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab

macbook pro
osx - mavericks
multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab.
Basically every time i click on website other windows open and get redirected to other websites selling something (same as that mackeeper site which seems to open often) Really ***** as in just a few minutes on the web I have many windows open and many are the same pages. Can't make changes in the advanced tab of network as options are greyed out and the + & - symbols do nothing when clicked. Hope there is an easy answer as surfing net is really sucking right now

I hope to get some more info on a similar situation.
I have a new Mac Pro, less than 2 months old. OSX 10.5 updated to 10.5.2. Quicktime updated too. When I use the Desktop and Screen Saver system pref, I can easily select and use one of the Apple supplied desktop pictures as a desktop background.
But I wish to use a Photo from an iPhoto (iLife 08) folder / album as the desktop background. I can find all the albums, I can see all the icons for the pictures, I can select an iconed pciture and it appears in the top left of the preference pane (showing the effect of "fit to window" or "stretch to fit", etc). But all I get is a pale blue screen (which might be my default desktop colour). I don't get any of my iPhoto album pics to appear as a dektop background.
There is one minor note on this, I don't keep the pictures in my iPhoto Library, I just reference them, and the originals are on a different internal disk.
I've tried the suggestions above, trashing finder and desktop plists, killall Finder, etc. restart. Nothing gets it working again. It did work originally, for most of the time I've had the Mac Pro, then I changed the dektop to an Apple supplied picture of Earth.
This affects both an Admin, and a standard user. The photos (and enclosing folders) are read / writable by the admin user, and readable by the Standard user. Both users can easily access the photos in their iPhoto. They open the original files on the second internal drive, and performing a right click - Show File shows the original file as expected. I've even emptied the iPhoto library completely and rebuilt it, just in case there was an issue here.
Any ideas ? or anyone else seen this ? I don't really want to start reformatting disks and reinstalling the OS, but any suggestions short of this are extremely welcome.

When I open Safari, multiple windows open, how do I fix?

When I open Safari, multiple windows open, how do I fix?

Close all windows before quitting, or hold down the option key while quitting, or hold down the shift key while launching.

Can I set Safari to open a new window when I click on it in the dock?

is there a way to set my safari to open a new window when i click on it in the dock i surf multiple websites at once and i dont like how i have to right clik and scroll up to pick open a new window. can i set it to just open a new window instead of opening the page that already opened

yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

Safari 7.0.2 opens multiple windows or tabs

I have safari 7.0.2 and suddenly every link opens a new window or tab. I end up with multiple windows that I have to close. It did not do this before this week. Possibly related to osx10.9.2 update??
Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks but that is not the problem.
I prefer to have windows rather than tabs but in either case the bahavior has suddenly changed.
When I used to click on an article or other link it would change to that page rather than open a new
window or tab. Now virtually every item I click on opens in its own page without the option to go "back".
I end up with countless windows and have to close them all. It is the same if I were to use tabs.
The only change that I am aware of is the update to osx for the security patch.

Firefox 4 opens multiple windows (15-25) when opening and only once in a blue moon will remember the tabs from the previous session in the first of the multiple windows.

When I open Firefox 4 from either the icon or from a link from e-mail or some other place, multiple windows open up. Usually between 15 and 25 of them. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on both my laptop and desktop and have the same issue with both. I tried disabling the plug-ins one by one since they were all up-to-date, to no avail. My laptop has an upgraded version of Windows while my desktop has a clean install. I tried uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3 and then the same thing started happening withe v3 when it wasn't before. Only sometimes, on rare occasions, will the first window that opens have my tabs from the previous session. Most times all the windows have one blank tab. The first one I can tell 'cause it does not have the orange Firefox menu button (since I'd chosen to show the Menu Bar) while the first window shows the menu bar. The troubleshooting info is from my laptop only.

Unless the schedule it's running on is every single time I open Firefox (including closing it & reopening it right away), I don't think that's the case. Also, I don't have any of these issues on the PC I switched back to v3.6 on. That one runs smoothly whether I run Ccleaner, registry optimizers, clear the cache & history or whatever. I thought after you first gave me the answer of deleting the session files that they must've got corrupted during the upgrade, but it seems that v4 just doesn't do a good job of retaining or maintaining those files without getting them corrupt or something.
If this is not an issue with everyone & I'm having it on both my PCs, then v4 has an issue with something that I install on my PCs that, I guess, many others don't although I don't know what that could be and I use everything I install or have running. So, I'm just going back to what works without having to dismantle my config one prog at a time to try to find what v4 may be finicky about.
By the way, I did check & couldn't find any cleaners that run automatically on my PCs.
