Start Safari in Fullscreen WITHOUT reopening old tabs

I have turned off the "Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps" option in the general system preferences but I would also like to have my fullscreen apps (such as Safari) start in fullscreen mode by default. Is there a way to do this?

Try leaving Safari in full screen mode when you shut down your Mac.
And setup Safari to launch when you startup ... open System Preferences > Security & Privacy - Login Items
No guarantees but worth a try ..

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Help! Safari suddenly opened hundreds of old tabs!

I'm running Safari 7.0.3 on my MBP in clamshell mode with a Thunderbolt Display. While using the Royal Mail website (in the UK) I suddenly started getting messages about unable to do this or that, then realised that the machine had opened hundreds of tabs, some very old from years ago (hence the error messages). I can't see how many have opened because the list goes off the bottom of the screen when I hold down the arrows.
I tried re-booting Safari, then re- booting the MBP but to no avail. The fans are naturally working flat our and my CPU is working at about 99%!
Is this a virus? What do I do? My tech support son is on a long-haul flight and I'm panicking ....
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks, folks. My son has managed to sort it for me.
He said that 1,183 tabs had opened!
I've no idea why, but he managed to quit all tabs once they'd finally finished loading. He's re-opened Safari and all appears to be working OK now, but I couldn't see any answers to my question on my MBP for about ten minutes, I could only see my question. So thank you all for your efforts. Not sure what the problem was but it's now sorted. Phew!

My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I start Safari. I also get new tabs that randomly open asking to clean up my Apple

My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I open Safari. I am also getting random tabs opening with various "cleaning up" my computer junk.
How do I get rid of this? I tried some of the fixes listed but they don't seem to work or I am doing something wrong.
THanks

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
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 (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

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.

How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application? The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work
#You must be remembering history (Options > Privacy > Remember my browsing history).

Reopening Safari 6 doesn't restore open tabs

Is there a way to have Safari 6 reopen the tabs that were active when it is closed and reopened?
Thanks.

Yes, It works for me
I unchecked it and Safari is back to its original behavior.
I had two major problems before I uncheck this box
Everytime I start Safari 6 it starts in the windowed mode, I have to set it to full screen everytime.
I wasn't able to restore tabs everytime I start Safari.
Now, the above was solved.

When I upgraded to ios 5, it asked me a for a new game center name. How do I use my old game center name, since it makes me start some games over without it?

Carefully follow steps 1-9 outlined by wjosten in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770. This will not, however, avoid wiping any non-purchased media from your phone (ripped CDs, etc.) as this is only synced one way: from your computer to your phone. You will have to either rebuild your iTunes library with this content and sync again to restore it to your phone, or purchase 3rd party software to copy it from your phone to iTunes prior to syncing (such as Touch Copy).

Why does safari re-open my last visited page instead of my homepage? I have the preferences set to always open to homepage in new tabs or windows or upon starting safaring.

Why does Safari open my last visited page?? I have gone into preferences and said to open to homepage when starting safaring or opening a new tab yet each time it opens to the last page I visited.

Hold down "shift" key and launch Safari
or hold down "option" key before quitting Safari to discard saved windows from previous session.
Disable Resume feature.
10.7 Lion
System Preferences > General
Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
10.8 Mountain Lion
System Prefernces > General
Chckmark the box next to "Close windows when quitting an application".

How to open Safari in true fullscreen without the toolbar?

Hi. I have been using SAFT for some year under Snow Leopard to get a true fullscreen webpage view. But after all new mac now are delivered with Lion pre-installed i have not been able to figure out how to get my Safari to open the homepage in true fullscreen without the toolbar in the top showing.
I know of the trick to right-click on the toolbar itself and choose hide, but I need a method that can go directly to the same fullscreen view without having to manually do this every time.
Any tip on how to get this in Safari 5.1 for OSX Lion?

PDL,
Am getting the Error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer" while trying to instantiate fields list inside the form via an AcroForms object. The problematic code snippet is given below
iPDDoc->Open("PDFFileName")
iAVDoc->AttachDispatch(PDDoc->OpenAVDoc("PDFFileName")), true);
ipFormApp->CreateDispatch("AFormAut.App", &OleExc)
i pFields = new IFields(pFormApp->GetFields());
The GetFields method is giving error in Acrobat 9 but its working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8.
Since the AV layer methods are working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8, please let me know why they are not working in Acrobat 9 and if there is any workaround.
Also, if I use only PD Layer methods, can I access the form fields inside the PDF?

How to put safari full screen without click/drag the sides and without going in to fullscreen mode??

How to put safari full screen without clicking and dragging the sides and without going in to fullscreen mode?
Thanks

Hi, e8god.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The option to take apps full screen is still available. Here are the steps on this feature in Yosemite.
Take apps full screen
In many apps, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. While in full-screen view, swipe to see another app’s full-screen window, to see your desktop, or to see a space you created.
Expand to full-screen view: Click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
Move between windows in full-screen view: Swipe left or right on a trackpad or Magic Mouse. For more information, see Learn trackpad and mouse gestures.
Return to standard view: Move the pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, then click the green full-screen button again, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
Take apps full screen
Cheers,
Jason H.

Safari 7: Slow, some sites not opening and after re-starting Safari it show tabs I had opened when I installed Mavericks

Hello everybody
I can't open many sites with Safari 7 (for example Google Drive, simple web pages). It looks like it's loading the page but it never stops loading. I can open these sites without any problem with Chrome.
When I quit Safari and re-open Safari the tabs are shown which were open when I upgraded to Mavericks. I can open 10 different tabs, quit Safari, open Safari again and only the 4 tabs which were opened a few days ago are shown. All other 10 tabs are gone.
Has anybody a solution to this?

Would you like to show me your internet environment?
Same situation on Chrome?
If your machine is connected to internet via wifi on WPA2(AES, 11n), please try to change this wifi condition to WPA(TKIP, 11g).
In my case, resolved internet connection issue like this.

Safari keeps losing some of my tabs?

I usually have several tabs open in Safari. Sometimes when I reopen safari, it only opens 1 or 2 of my tabs, and then I have to dig through my history to find the other pages. This is at least the 3rd time this has happened and I'm getting sick of it. Is there a reason why this is happening? Would exiting instead of just clicking the red X fix the problem?

OK, I got it to work again - but not sure what did it ...
First I did the software update to Safari 6.0 [the one with the ugly broad Tabs :-( ]. However, I don't thnk it was this, as opening it I lost again 6 Tabs (one gets empty Tabs, just their title is left).
So I looked for more advanced cleanup and came across one posting
"When things go haywire with a browser, try maintenance...", of Carolyn Samit, see https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014741#11014741
There are quite a few things to do (empty the cache {in Safari 6.0 you need to switch on the 'Develop' menue to do so}, Reset Safari {as to Carolyn take the top five}, then checked plugins/input managers {don't have many of them, but tried to reload all the ones I could figure out how to get updates, and deleted the remainder - including one Adobe file needed for a old version of Flash which, as to others, was obsolete and may even slow Safari}, all accoprding to the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594 link.
Then deleted the Cookies.plist file, the Cache.db file, the preference files, ...
{com.apple.Safari.plist, com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing.binarycookies, Cookies.binarycookies, History.plist, http_www.ebay.de_0.localstorage {there might be more like this}, LastSession.plist, LocationPermissions.plist, WebpageIcons.db},
then restarted my Mac. Restarted again, then started Safari (you'll end up on the Apple site as if it"s the first time running). Collected my windows and Tabs - and finally quit and relaunched, then Reopened all Windows from Last Session - what a surprise, the Tabs were all filled!!!
So happy now ...
Cheers, jk
