Snow Leopard Safari Tabs
in [Mac Applications]

From: Alan Spitz on 1 Oct 2009 21:37 Hi, Suddenly my tab bar in Safari 4.0.3 (Snow Leopard) disappeared. Just prior to this my little "X's" to delete the tab went away. I googled for a solution and I ended up Resetting Safari. The "X's" were back but I have no tab bar at all. Command-T makes a new tab, and a tab bar. Could anybody steer me in the right direction? -- Alan Spitz

Safari 4 doesn't display the tab bar unless there are at least two tabs. You may have had something set up before which caused Safari to always start with two tabs. It also doesn't show the 'X' to close a tab unless you point the mouse cursor at the tab. Alternatively, you may have had some kind of third party hack which modified Safari's behaviour, but that hack only works when Safari is set to run in 32-bit mode, or the hack is not compatible with the latest system updates you have installed. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

No tab bar until there's a tab sounds right to me. -- http://northalabamahealthcareforall.org http://healthcareforamericanow.org/ http://aarp.convio.net/site/PageNavigator/Myths_vs_Facts http://snopes.com Check http://politifact.com http://healthcarefactcheck.com/ http://www.healthactionnow.org/?s_src=20090622_US_E_HAN_LaunchAT

But now, when I click on a link from email the link opens in a new window, instead of a new tab. I've got Prererences/Tabs all set now and mail still opens a new window instead of a new tab. -- Alan Spitz |
