When opening a new tab in Safari, the spinning wheels appears

Please help, I have very basic skills on a computer, so please make this simple and easy!!
When I open a new tab in Safari, it freezes and the spinning wheel appears. It stays on there for a long period of time and does not disappear. In order to get on I need to Force closure in Safari and restart the computer. Sometimes this will solve the problems and sometimes it needs to be restarted a few times.
This is really annoying and stops me using my mac.
MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012
Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
I have 385 GB free memory.
I have checked and all updates have been installed.
Many Thanks

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

    Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

  • When opening a new tab in Safari...

    Is there a way to keep Safari from opening up my recent searches window every time I make a new tab in Safari?
    I find it annoying that it always pops down And gets in the way of the bookmarks bar etc.

    Clearing Safari's history : Settings > Safari > Clear History
    Then close Safari completely and when you re-open it your search history should have gone (though focus will still default to the search box). To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • How do I choose my homepage to appear when opening a new tab instead of the frequently visited websites which appear by default?

    When I manually open a new tab, a page appears which has previews of some of the sites I frequently visit. Instead of that I just want my homepage to appear.

    See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    You can set the browser.newtab.url pref to the preferred home page.

  • When open a new tab, I want the home page to come up, but it's something else. How do I change this? Thanks!

    If I click the + to open a tab, it comes up to a browser window that I don't want. I have changed the "home page" to what I do want, that didn't seem to work, even when I restarted Firefox.
    How can I change the screen that comes up when I select a new tab? Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

    There is an extension to do that -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • Opening a new tab in safari opens an untitled tab while replacing the existing tab with top sites

    When I open a new tab in safari, it opens an untitled tab while replacing the existing tab with top. Then if I have other tabs open, the website url of the page I was on before I opened the untitled tab freezes and is shown on each other tab.
    How can i fix this problem? It is starting to occur with increasing frequency.

    I had the same problem and I suspect you are using Glims. I uninstalled Glims and voila, problem gone. I reinstalled Glims and the problem returned.
    Link to Glims uninstaller for those who have this problem http://www.MacHangout.com/dwnlds/Glims-UnInstall.dmg.zip
    I'll report the bug and hope they fix it soon, I like Glims.

    I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
    Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
    Thank you.

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:

    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • When opening a new tab how can I show previoius history in the window?

    When opening a new tab, can I show the previous history in the new window?

  • When i open a new tab i want the cursor to be at the beginning of the url (it was until this latest update, now the cursor is at the end of the url)

    I have just taken the latest update to 22.0 from the last version.
    In the past when i opened up a new tab the cursor would jump to the beginning of the URL and i could start typing. Now the cursor goes to the back of the URL and i have to double click the URL to type in a new one.
    Let me try to be as clear as i can. I have had firebox set for long time so when i open a new tab google.com comes up, and google is also my home page.
    I have not installed any options for a long time either. And nothing that has to do with tabs.
    What i remember is as i opened a new tab the URL of it would turn blue and i could start typing in a new URL. Now when i open a new tab i see google.com come up in blue, then the url turns to https://www.google.com/ and the blue goes away and the cursor is at the end of the URL. I now have to double click the URL to type.

    I switched to the "about blank" and then use my home icon to get to Google.com
    It is not quit as good as it was but usable.
    I think you should add two new check boxes in options under "tabs"
    1 - When opening any new tab, put the focus of the cursor on the URL.
    2 - When opening any new tab, put the focus of the cursor on the search box.
    This will take care of the majority of people.

  • When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

    In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

    I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
    This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG.

  • When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Safari 5 Crashes When Opening A New Tab

    I upgraded to Safari 5 and whenever I open a new tab... whether its with Command-T or double/right clicking the tab bar, It crashes every time! I am on 10.6.3. Safari 4 worked fine.
    I already tried moving all my plugins to the desktop along with the other files mentioned in another thread and that did not work.
    Any ideas?

    She can't open a new tab without Safari shutting down
    Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report.
    How to locate a crash log:
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
    Now *copy/paste the entire contents* of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
    * Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    * Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
    * Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.
