Safari instantly closes tabs opened with cmd+shift+t in tabs group Hi, suddenly Safari started to immediately close tabs I reopened using cmd+shift+t in my tabs groups on my MacBook Air. It still works fine in the main tab group on Safari (the one that cannot be deleted and is always there). I created two tabs groups that are synced between my laptop and iPhone. When I use cmd+shift+t in any of these groups, the recently closed tabs reopens for a second and then disappears instantly without any option to reopen it. Using Cmd+shift+t again reopens the tab closed before, but this new one disappears immediately as well... Any suggestions how to solve this issue?

SAFARI does not work on most websites What is happening to Safari 16.1 in Ventura 13.01? Most websites do not even load even if the content restrictions are disabled in the Safari settings? Everything works on the same iMac Pro in Microsoft's Edge, Firefox, Chrome. WHY is Safari such a junk browser after the latest updates????? I was relying on Safari for all my work, and all of a sudden I am forced to use browsers that I am not so found of to do basic browsing and work. This is ridiculous...is this Ventura pushing Intel-based Macs users to buy M1 Macs or just Apple MacOS turning into a Windows XP -type experience?? Anyone else having these issues?

Hi somrad,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about your custom Safari background. We're happy to provide some information to help.

Are you only seeing this behavior with this specific transparent background? Try testing with another one using the steps here: Customize the start page in Safari on Mac

Let us know how that goes, thanks.
