asked on

closing Safari by Tab

I noticed when I open Safari and then open other windows(new tabs), then later when I  close Safari, it does not prompt to close just the current Tab or all windows.

How can I configure Safari to prompt me about which windows to close?

Thanks

when the Safari window is active, press Command + "," to  open Safari's Preferences, under "Tabs", check "Confirm before closing multiple tabs or windows".

it got to be Lion Mountain ??
just checked, my Safari 7.0 (9537.71) on Mavericks got the exact same options for Tabs. interesting.

i too got no idea where the Close Tabs setting is now. :-(

yes, it is Mountain Lion. ML, not LM. :-))

You are running Mountain Lion and your Safari is version 6.x.

Try this.

How do I have Safari 6 ask before quitting (to avoid accidental quits)?

New to MAC…
I do not see the solution.
Sorry, just tried the command lines on my Mountain Lion and they did not work. :-(

However at least the following work around works, you may get the closed tabs back. In the History menu, you have the new option to "Restore last window closed" on top of the previously existing "Restore all windows from previous session".
