Startup Page MacBookAir

FoxFith: I truly appreciate your effort in my behalf.

• I do have a check mark in front of "Close windows when quitting an app.
• At startup I get Safari and then I can click on my Homepage icon in the menu bar for my homepage.

You definitely have your thinking cap on & believe you will find "the missing link".

Thanks and carefully watching responses.

FoxFith: Many thanks for your response and help. I changed the line as you suggested and my setting now read as below.

Safari Opens With: New Window

New Window Opens With: Homepage

New Tabs Open With: Empty Page

Homepage: Selected URL for Homepage

Unfortunately this change did not open the homepage at startup. Do you have another suggestion in magic bag? I cannot decipher this problem. I do believe it is some minor item.

Anxiously await your next assistance.

FoxFith: Please note the time difference between my responses. I took note of your suggestion of the check mark next to "Close windows when quitting an app." I returned to systems preferences read the instructions and removed the check mark. Restarted the computer. Bingo my home page opened when rebooted. Will now put computer to sleep and will advise you tomorrow after startup if homepage opened again.

Thanks for stirring my mind.

FoxFith: My exuberance has ended. Additional startups since my last post failed to open homepage. I have reset all to those you suggested. My description of startup page may not have been correct. Computer starts with Mojave homepage which is view of canyons. The dock bar opens and I click Safari (dot beneath Safari icon indicates Safari open). After click on Safari the Safari tool bar opens & I can click on homepage icon. I hope this describes the startup process clearly.

What a dilemma fo what should be a simple procedure. I thank you once again for you to bear with me on this situation.

When I click on the Safari icon on the dock the screen has the Mojave canyon scene. My description. The Safari tool bar is not on the screen. The black dot is underneath the Safari icon on the dock however. Does this not indicate Safari opened?

Trust this answers your question. Your effort in my behalf impressive. Thanks

Yes, you are correct. Safari not running when I boot and the page with Mojave scene on screen. Yes, black dot under Safari icon. I must click on Safari icon in dock to open Safari and to use Preferences or move to another page.

When I do click on Safari icon my homepage loads. This is homepage I would like to have open with startup.

I hope this now a clear description of actions when computer starts. Difficult for me to give precise description.

Thanks again.

FoxFith: Thanks once again for your time spent on my desire for Homepage to open when booting. I had to set this project aside for a few days due to some other activities. I now carefully reviewed all your suggestions and very pleased to announce that my selected HP opens when computer booted. If I asked to identify which setting I changed I could not do so.

For at least 6 days the computer has booted as expected. May it continue. Much time spent on this project just too satisfy my desire.

I truly appreciate your effort. You are a large contributor that makes this Community so valuable.
