Safari Opens NUMEROUS Windows Upon Running Program

Whenever I to open Safari, over 80 windows open immediately. My homepages are two websties and I'll get probably 30 or so windows with my Home "pages" combination, and then another 50 of windows of sites I visted recently. If I proceed to close the windows out, more open.
Any recommendations? Would reinstalling Safari work? Or does this look like a virus and should I just restore from my time machine backup? My most recent backup is roughly 1 week old and my external has not been connected since this began to happen.
It's worth noting this only happens to Safari--Firefox works perfectly fine. No other odd behaviors (ie. system lag, program crashes, etc.) have appeared.

Try un-checking the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option under the General pane of System Preferences and then opening Safari. This disables the resume feature in lion. It isn't a permanant soloution but it might help narrow down if the resume feature is responsible for this.
Edit: It might also be worth fiddiling around with the homepage settings such as setting it to only open blank pages in new windows and new tabs instead of opening your chosen homepage and see if there is any problem there

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 opening closed windows

safari opening closed windows when i go off safari and then back on, im worried my iphone have been hacked how do i know

Safari can't reopen closed windows. Are you actually closing the windows by clicking on the little double square to the lower right and then clicking the little x that appears on each page you have open? Or are you just exiting safari by clicking the Home button?

My safari opens 3 windows when I click once, how come?

Thanks...
I looked at the article and looked in about:config and found that the preference was already set to True so I guess that isn't the issue.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Safari opens by itself upon start-up. Why?

I have had the problem in the past and it is back! Why does Safari open by itself first thing upon starting up my computer? Has my computer been hacked? Is this another problem with Mac OS X 10.4.6? Can somebody tell me?

madboy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Go to System Preferences...>Accounts>My Account>Login Items, click on Safari and then on the icon.

IPad 2 Safari opens ghost window.

iPad 2 safari loads previous window the first time reopened. Subsequent opens a ghost window. I want a blank window. I don't see this issue with iPad 2 just mac. If you know the fix please explain it like you are telling your great grandmother.

What do you mean by "ghost window"?
Safari on iOs will reopen any window you had opened when you closed it. Close any open tab before exiting Safari to prevent that.

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.

Runtime.exec() - how to open new window for new program?

Hi,
I have searched through the forums but haven't found an answer to this one yet. I am using runtime.exec() to start up a new java program. At first I thought it wasn't running properly but, after checking task manager, I have discovered that the new program I open runs, it is just completely invisible to me. I am wondering how I can get the new program to run in a command window or something where I can monitor it.
Thank you for your help,
Drew

Thank you all. After trying to figure out why the start command wouldn't work in the runtime.exec() call(not an executable - I am a dolt), I tried putting it in a batch file and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help,
Drew

Images disappear upon running program

Can not find the answer to this, though I've seen the comment
before. I'm publishing to inetpub for a project I'm working on to
test locally. Many times when I run the application, my images,
inside an images folder, disappear from the bin (localhost) folder
and I have to recopy them. Suggestions?

Try un-checking the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option under the General pane of System Preferences and then opening Safari. This disables the resume feature in lion. It isn't a permanant soloution but it might help narrow down if the resume feature is responsible for this.

Safari opens new window

Hi
I am wanting links to open in a tab rather than new window the preferences are set to tab but it is opening in new window please help

Some web pages specify that links open in a new window with certain code that bypasses the Safari keystroke to open in a new tab. Most links, however, will open in a new tab when you Command-click.
Safari doesn't have a built-in for opening links automatically in new tabs when they're coded to open in a new page.

Safari opening same window

Safari opening browser windows that were not requested

Lately I have been having browser windows opening on their own. These are always selling something usually adult sites. I have the pop up blocker enabled. Is there another pref or some software that will block these? Today I had one that I could not close. I had to shut down Safari to get rid of it. Thanks Bob

Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more common.
Pop-up blockers can only block certain types of pop-ups; sites using various scripting techniques can bypass the pop-up blockers and some create pop-ups that can't be killed.
The cure is to not visit those sites.
My concern is that some malware has been installed on the OPs computer. While Macs are mostly free of viruses and such, when invited, they certainly will come and stay. Bit-torrent sites, file-sharing and such allow other users internal access to one's computer and who know what they can install?
While Winders systems can be attacked without the user doing anything, most if not all Mac attacks require the operator to allow them entry. Once in, I have no idea what havoc they can wreak.
Time is coming when Macs will need AV, especially as they become a larger share of the market.
According to MacScan there are are quite a few pieces of Mac spyware in the wild.

Open new window upon authentication

Hi,
In my application, I use form-based authentication, with web.xml to indicate the secure jsp pages, the login page and login error page.
Is it possible to open a new browser window with the requested page once the user has properly logged in (If so, how? or direct me to resources I may read up on) ?
i.e.
1. User requests secured page. They get redirected to the login page in the same window
2. User enters a correct login-password pair.
3. User clicks login button and a new browser window opens, preferably with no menubar, no address bar, no toolbar
If the user provides an incorrect login-password pair, they are taken to the login error page in the same window.
This is my login form:
<form method="POST" action="j_security_check" name="login">
<p><input type="text" name="j_username" id="username" size=15 /></p>
<p>Password: <input type="password" name="j_password" id="password" size=15 /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Login"/></p>
</form>Thanks in advance,
C
