Safari loads last page visited...

Okay, I'm sure that this is something terribly easy that is going to terribly embarrass me by not figuring it out on my own, but here goes...

With the new version of safari, it automatically opens any pages that I had open when I quit safari. I need it to not do that. Where is the preference that turns that off?

Just from reading threads on Lion and Safari, I know the answer: it's in System Preferences, not just in Safari Preferences. You can find other threads on the topic using the Search feature. There's a glut of duplicate topics right now with the release of Lion.

It's under General. Uncheck "Restore windows" and there you go. Just be aware that this impacts everything, not just Safari.



The other option is just to close the Safari window before you quit the app.

Click to expand...

I know...that's the OBVIOUS. Unfortunately, the 'obvious' hasn't always worked out so well for me!

For some reason that I can't fathom, when you shut down your Mac, there is also a tick box on the shut down dialogue pop up which affects this behaviour.

Weird or what!!!
