Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
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.
Try Safari.

Safari opens tabs that or not in the bookmark list

Hi,
Safari opens tabs that or not in the bookmark list. Emptied cache, deleted history and cleared all bookmarks. The tabs (about 30) open up gain when I restart.

Safari opens Tabs again, even after quitting them!

Hi guys,
I'm having some annoying troubles with Safari for about 2 weeks now...
When I quit Safari, it should normally reload all my last opened pages (f.ex: google, facebook,apple and twitter), but instead it ALLWAYS reopens the same 2 tabs (some minecraft site + facebook). this is pretty annoying because it does not go away. I've allready tried everything... closing tabs with cmd-W before quitting safari, checking and unchecking the "reopen windows" setting (wich btw rechecks itself after I quit an reopen "system preferences").
anyone out there having the same problem?
please help me
thank you

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
Quit Safari if it’s running.
Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the folder that opens (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Try Safari again. If it still doesn’t work right, quit again and move the following file to the Desktop:
Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Cookies/Cookies.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.

Safari don't open tabs from last session

Hello,
In Safari/Preferences in Safari Opens With I choose the option all tabs from last session (I've translate menus my safari was in portuguese so I don't know exactly how the options are in english).
But when I open safari, it's open only one blank tab, and don't open any tab from the last session, someone knows how can I solve this problem?
Thanks!

Clicking on External Link in Safari Opens New Tab

I think it has to do with one of the preferences I've set within Safari but I just can't put a finger on which one.
Basically, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) about a week ago. And then I tinkered with Safari preferences.
Since then, whenever I click on an external link, for example, an email address, Safari opens a New Tab instead of launching my Mail app.
Not sure how to do undo this.

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
If you don't use Mail, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

IOS 8 - How to Close All Open Tabs in Safari?

ioS 8 - Is there a way to close all open tabs in Safari on the iPhone? The workaround in iOS 7 was to hit the "Private" button and then click "Close All Tabs," but that no longer works with the revised private browsing method. Clicking each tab to close multiple tabs is burdensome if there are a lot open.

Yes, this is VERY painful after a few days of using Safari: Having to close one window at a time. Ugh.

When Safari opens all of my favourites come up as open tabs. I have tried changing settings and deleting and reopening! I removed all favourites but still all open up at start?

When Safari opens all of my favourites come up as open tabs. I have tried changing settings and deleting and reopening! I removed all favourites but still all open up at start? I have set a homepage and that doesn't come up upon starting safari either?

There are several options in your prefs. See these in order

Printing All Opened Tabs in Safari

Is there a way to print all opened tabs in safari

HI,
choppy/freezing video
Try uninstalling your current copy of Flash, then reinstall new, then repair permissions.
Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Empty the Safari cache from the Safari Menu Bar too.
If reinstalling Flash and emptying the cache didn't help, you may have Safari third party add-ons installed that were compatible with a previous version of Safari, but not Safari 5.
Go here for troubleshooting Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
You could also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. 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 functions as it should, them move the .plist file to the Trash.

Stop Safari opening search results in new tab

Since updating to Safari 6.0.1 (and now 6.0.2) in OSX10.7.5 anytime I click a link which is a search engine search result (Google and Yahoo!, Ask.com has always done that) the result opens in a new tab. Previously results would open in the same tab and I could just press the 'back' button until I returned to the search results page. I would like to be able to go back to going back in my history, instead of switching between tabs. If anyone knows how I can restore the same tab thing instead of opening new tabs I would appreciate it as having a half dozen open tabs is frustrating, and I usually only need a second search result if the first was entirely unhelpful (thus rendering tabs a

I don't know about Yahoo, but Google has a setting to open results in a new window. If it's selected, deselect it.

Safari open link in new tab problem

Safari opens links in same tab when it should open each link in a new tab.
In preferences, tabs, Open pages in tabs instead of windows: if I select, Always
When I browse, click on a link, the link opens in the page I am viewing and also a new tab.
If I select never
When I browse, click on a link, the page opens in the tab I am viewing and also a new tab (about 75% of the time).
If I select automatically, Safari will selectively open the link in the same page and a new tab at the same time, or sometimes just open a new tab.
What's up, Safari 6?
How can I fix this annoying behavior?

I pulled the plist to the trash, reset Safari, restarted. Everything seems to be working as it should. I'm guessing this was some sort of preference or cache corruption. If the weird behavior returns, I'll report back.

Safari opens with old tabs on start up

Safari keeps opening with old tabs from about 3 weeks ago rather than my home page. On start up safari is showing as open and there is a folder in the right hand part of the dock. This has the old tabs in it and safari opens with these and not my home page. I've seen other threads which advise to ensure preferences are set correctly etc but none of this has worked. All settings are for my home page to open and not previous windows. What confuses me is why these particular old tabs are opening. Any ideas how to get rid of them and for safari to start opening with my home page again. Thanks.

I have been experiencing the exact same issue as eddiethered for the past 2 weeks, I'm having 4 old browser tabs open everytime I launch Safari. This is not an issue of a settings configuration, it is an issue of a bad .plist or cache from what I can tell. Like eddiethered, I have ensured the following:
My default homepage is about:blank, so upon Safari launch nothing other than a blank page should appear.
It is not an issue of restarting the OS and having "Reopen windows when logging back in" checked off, when I restart I ALWAYS uncheck that - but in the past week the same apps seem to relaunch automatically when they shouldn't.
This is not an issue of previously closing vs quitting the Safari browser, I Command-Q all my apps when I am finished with them. Even when I hard-quit Safari, the old 4 browser tabs/websites reappear.
This is not a issue of Login Items as I don't have a single application listed as a Login Item for my Username.
I've also noticed other apps having issues (iChat, Chrome). As of now Firefox is the only browser that is launching without any issues. Yes an OS reinstall could be an option but that is a substantial amount of effort I don't want to invest. Due to the other apps having issues this may be an issue at the OS level and not Safari.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Safari opens new tabs extremely slow

My post is very similar to this one.
Since I got Safari 4, opening new tabs has been painful when having Safari open (in the background) for a longer period of time.. When starting Safari and doing stuff with tabs, no problem! However, after a couple of days, when I press +t to get a new tab, I have to wait (spinning wheel of death) 4 to 60 seconds for the new tab to appear.. This hangs my complete OS, not just Safari!
I am having this same problem on: Mac Mini early 2009 with Leopard + Safari 4, Macbook Pro Early 2008 (first penryn), Leopard and Snow Leopard with Safari 4, and now on my new MBP (mid 2009) Snow Leopard with Safari 4...
It is reaaallllly annoying (since opening tabs should be fast), and I suspect this has to do with the fact that I have 'Top Sites' as default page (Top Sites displays when I open up a new tab)...
I've turned that off now, to see if I still experience slowdowns, but this would mean loss of a great feature that I really like..
Please reply / post if you need more info

First of all, you don't need to use Top Sites as your default page; change that to an Empty Page and leave it that way. If you want to access Top Sites, there's a button on your Toolbar to do that.
Next, try this to solve your other problem(s):
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

My safari opens new unwanted tabs

my safari opens new unwanted tabs how can I prevent it?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
