Turning "off" Safari browser...back to homepage.

I feel like an idiot...but, how do I totally shut off the Safari browser after I have done with any web activity? I feel like I am running my battery down prematurely by some applications like Safari that are running in the background.
Thanks for the help.

Hold the HOME button for about 6 seconds.
It will stop the browser from any further activity.
This has been documented, in manual and posts everywhere.
If you want to test it, turn off WiFi and use EDGE. And go on a website where it does heavy loading:
If you just press the home button to get out, it will continue to load it completely while you're doing something else. (After a minute or two, go back in Safari to see it, your page will be done or completely loaded.)
Now, if you hold the home button for about 6 seconds, it will stop the loading completely. (After a minute or two, go back in Safari, you will SEE that it starts to continue loading where you last left it.)

  • After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch.

    After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch. I tried soft-resetting, and clearing my cookies and cache. I basically launches in private browsing mode and then immediately tries to switch to regular browsing. When the screen changes, it crashes to desktop.
    Any ideas, other than wiping my iPad?
    (I'm using iOS 5, of course, but it is not available under the Operating System dropdown in this forum)

    I'm seeing the same problem, and it was repeatable for me.  iPad (original 3G, 64GB), iOS 5.  (There are now a couple threads with this same problem.)
    Once the crashes start, it would continue to crash every time I tried to bring up Safari.  It crashes just as it finishes showing the tool bars, but before any content is displayed.
    Manually killing the app did not make the problem go away.
    One time, shutting down and restarting the iPad fixed it, but that solution did not work the next time I went in and out of Private browsing.  Also, once the crashing begins, going back into Private browsing did not stop the crashing.
    The last time it got into the crashing condition, I stopped the crashing by turning off the setting to display the Bookmark bar.  Strange!
    I have like 20 Safari crash logs that I hope will get auto-sent to Apple sometime today (I reenabled the send data to Apple option).

  • My E pad has stopped directing me to my att/yahoo e mail. It gives me a notice that i must go to Settings, Safrai and turn off Private Browsing. I have tried for 2 days to find private browsing on my safrai site, and it is just not there.

    Forsome reason, after two years, my E Pad is refusing to go to my att.Yahoo e mail...It says to go to Settings Safari Private Browsing and turn off Private Browsing. There is not place on the Safrari page that gives me Private Browsing. It explains it as being dark when turned on, but no place to turn it on or off.  Also it seems to go to Yahoo Mail instead of Att..Yahoo when it gives me the above message....Any One know what todo?

    As of iOS 7, private browsing is not longer handled in the Settings app, but in Safari directly. The only Settings function for Safari that may impact this would be Block cookies.
    Private browsing is turned on and off in Safari using the button in teh lower left of the Safari screen (if you do not see this, tap the + icon in the upper right to pull up an empty tab).

  • FF20 on Win 7 no option to turn OFF private browsing -- No SAFE Mode warning when try to start in Safe mode. Any ideas

    Since the latest Win 7 update -- Tue 16th -- in particular FF has been getting slower.
    Tonight with FF20 using ADblock Plus and NoScript addins I have no option to turn off private browsing and when attempting to resart in safe mode I do not get the warning message.
    Have tried a reset and restart but FF remains the same not responding and freqent crashes.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
