Saving tabs? reopen after closing safari...

Is there some addon that I could use to save my open tabs over sessions? With OmniWeb and Safari w/ Saft it's possible to close the app and have all tabs reappear the next time the browser is opened. (Also handy for crashes; Saft has a crash protection which asks to bring up all lost tabs after a crash.)
And yes, I know I can bookmark tabs, but that would generate a new entry everytime I close the browser...

Why can't you just use Saft? File --> Save browser window.

  • Reopen Safari tabs after closing Safari and restart?

    Is there a way to reopen all the tabs from my last safari session after a restart?  I closed safari, then restarted, and the option to reopen last closed window and reopen last closed window are greyed out.  I did not check the reopen tabs (or windows?) check box upon restarting.

    This will work if you have Glims installed. It's free and works on v10.9.2 and Safari 7.
    Download and installed Glims > Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
    Once Glims is installed, go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Glims tab.
    Select General on the left then switch Restore Tabs at Launch ON.
    Glims is free.

  • Mail.app will not reopen after closing app

    I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.8 and Mail.app 3.6 (936). I have all current updates installed. My problem is that I will be using mail.app (configured as an IMAP account) all day and close the application without any issues, but if I reopen the application without fist restarting the computer Mail hangs and will not relaunch. This issue happens without fail. There are only two resolves that will allow me to relaunch mail.app: restart the computer or relaunch the Finder.
    What can I do to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Thom

    Anyone one have any thoughts on this? The inability to relaunch Mail.app after closing (without relaunching the Finder or restarting the computer) happens every time without fail. All other applications work without incident.
    Thanks,

  • Saved tabs menu bookmark brings Safari window to unusable state

    Saved tabs menu bookmark does not ask for user confirmation when navigating away from many tabs, and when the user returns to the previous set of tabs (note that this possibility isn't clear to the user), the entire Safari window reaches an unusable state.
    I have a saved tabs folder as a bookmark item that is also present on the bookmarks menu bar. That means if I accidentally click on the saved tabs link instead of the address bar then my Safari session with all of the current active tabs disappears! I'd like to suggest that Safari presents a confirmation page when the user is about to change the state of more than one tab, just like it would ask for confirmation if the user were to exit Safari or close a window with many open tabs. By clicking on that single button nearby to the address bar, the entire window state is altered, not just the current tab. That's not my initial expected behaviour. On the other hand, it was also not clear to me initially that I could navigate back to the previous set of tabs when that state is comprehensively changed. So maybe the user can be informed about the ability to undo that action. For now, I will certainly be moving that set of tabs away from the menu bar, tucked further within the Bookmarks menu. But the problem that I have now is more than just a temporary unavailability of the old state.
    When I accidentally navigated forward to that set of tabs, and subsequently quickly hit the back arrow button to revert to the previous state, Safari itself reached a point where the content of all tabs became unavailable. This sounds like it could be a kind of race condition where Safari needs to throw away cached information for the old set of tabs before it builds new cached information upon loading all new tabs. By aborting the process of loading those new tabs, maybe Safari assumes that the set of tabs is up to date, but the transition back to the old set of tabs doesn't appropriately trigger a reload and revert of the state. In any case the symptom is clear. When I switch between tabs in the problematic window, I continue to get completely blank screens even though I had many distinct tabs open in that window initially. It seems that to reproduce this problem what needs to be done is to have this set of saved tabs in a bookmark that is stored just below the address bar, and then to quickly navigate backward to return to the previous state. The more tabs in the current and stored session, the more this process may bog down Safari and expose this type of race condition. I also believe I may have also double or triple clicked that saved tabs button, which may invalidate the original set of tabs since the state for several sets of tabs might not be stored transparently by default. In any case I would like to recommend that Safari warn the user when this step takes place. The user could even be warned because they place a set of tabs bookmark below the menu bar, since they might accidentally click there. When this problem occurred, the other Safari window I had open had multiple tabs but this part of the Safari session was considered still working and the symptoms were not there. Yet the problematic window continues to experience the problem where all tabs are currently blank. I believe that I'll have to restart Safari to trigger the reloading of the pages, but I don't even know if that will be sufficient. I hope that this information is helpful.

    Recommend to whom? Discussions is a user-to-user forum. You are just talking to other users. We don't write the applications so we can't change how they work.
    If you have what you believe to be a product improvement idea, send it to Apple via the feedback URL. Posting it here is pointless.

  • Windows reopen after quitting safari

    After I quit Safari (even after the computer shuts down and restarts) any previous Safari windows or tabs re-open in the background along with the new one. I can't simply get a new page with the homepage. This is really annoying. Is there a way to stop this? It never did this before the lion upgrade.

  • Photoshop CC 2014.1 keeps reopening after closing

    I have Photoshop CC 2014.1 running on Mac OS X 10.8.5.  I use a Wacom Intuit tablet without a mouse.   Whenever I close photoshop within a few seconds it reopens. This continues until shut the mac down. I read that removing it from the Dock solve the issue but it didn't fix the is
    Anyone else have this issue or a resolution for this bug

    Would suggest you to try the same after disconnecting Wacom and using a mouse instead. Check if it works then. If it does, then it has to be your Wacom drivers. Update it and then check.
    Else,
    Try resetting the PS CC preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    Try to open PS CC in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS CC icon and hit Yes.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Both Firefox & Thunderbird won't reopen after closing. require reboot

    When I close Firefox or Thunderbird, they do not reopen later. Dialog box says they are still running, but process won't close in task manager. System requires reboot to get back in

    Maybe your security (Anti-virus) software is checking files while Firefox is starting and takes so much time that Firefox can't access them and decides to skip loading those locked files. If that happens with sqlite database files like places.sqlite then bookmarks won't work properly. A second start works because the AV software had already checked the file. So you need to check the rules for Firefox in your security software.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Gmail missing from top sites after closing Safari

    This is becoming extremely frustrating. I constantly add Gmail to my top sites and pin it so it permanently remains there; however, once closing out of Safari it disappears. Anyone else having trouble with keep Gmail on their top sites?

    I get the same thing...if I restart my computer or even quit and relaunch Safari, all my web-mail top sites are gone, replaced with the typical ever changing top sites. It only seems to do it with these types of sites, as all my other ones set to remain permanent always do.

  • Firefox reopens after closing???

    After I close Firefox down I often return to my computer to find it back open usually with an ad of some sort for spyware removal, or malware. I have run avg numerous times but it has not detected any viruses. I have also disabled many addons from firefox. One time I closed firefox came back and some super mario bros webpage was playing.

    hello warpigdave, please also run a scan with different other tools specialised in adware and browser hijackers, like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

    No saved tabs when I closed yesterday, opened today:

    -- i.e. there were no tabs to recover.

  • I just did an update to 6.0 on Lion. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button  it re-opens to my home page, not all my previous tabs..  prior to the update it would re-open with all my previous tabs, which is what I want.

    I just did an update to Lion  10.7.4 with Safari  6.0. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button,  it re-opens to just my home page, not to all my previous tabs as it did before the update.  I prefer having my old tabs re-open.  How can I fix this?

    I've had what I think is the same problem since the most recent software update.  I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0.  The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions.  I don't like that as well, but I can live with it.  However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out.  So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button.  Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close.  The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything.  I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info.  Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem.  I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this.  I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

  • My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

    My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
    Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
    The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
    What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

  • Why does Firefox keep me logged into websites after closing and reopening the browser?

    As of today, Firefox has been behaving differently. Namely, when I close Firefox and reopen, I am still logged in to email and other sites. I have all of my privacy settings checked, such as clear history, offline data, form history, etc etc so that they all will be deleted upon closing but this has no effect. Can someone provide insight as to why this is happening and how I can correct it? Before today, after closing and reopening the browser I was required to log in to any sites requiring UN and PW.
    I have rechecked all history deletion options to make sure all the appropriate ones were selected. Yesterday, I noticed inbox.com and a program called 24x7 Help were installed on the computer, without my knowledge. I promptly uninstalled them,but I'm not sure if they could somehow be responsible for the odd behavior.

    Such a behavior indicates that you keep the cookie(s) that verify that you are logged on to a web server.
    Are you using session restore to open those tabs automatically?
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    You can set the <b>browser.sessionstore.privacy_level</b> pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
    You can change the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
