Why do tabs automatically refresh in Safari 5.1?
Try this: Have at least ten websites in different tabs in the same window. Go to "Reset Safari..." in the "Safari" menu. Uncheck the "Close all Safari windows" and then click "Reset". What the **** Apple.
Also, the spinning beach ball of death does not appear when I move the mouse to the bookmark bars or toolbar. Why?
The issue is solved in Safari 5.2
But will Safari 5.2 run on OSX 10.6.x ??? And when will it be out of beta-- all my search results talk about it being in developer release.
Ohhhhhhhhhh-- so it WAS a Safari problem all along?!?!
How nice of Safari to finally acknowledge it.
:-/
Is 5.2 still in beta and just for developers, or is it not coming around till mountain lion?
Is 5.2 compatible for Mac OS 10.7.4? I opened Safari again after that incident and found its Safari 5.1.7 and I had just updated my OS update. So perhaps it wasnt ficed for 10.7?
Is there a fix for Safari 5.1.9 yet or is Apple just going to neglect us?
I think they've moved on... expecting everyone to upgrade OS, and move to Safari 6, which I wonder if that's working any better...
Using Safari 6 in an up-to-date installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.3, I have not had the tab refresh issue for several months. Using a 2012 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM.
SAFARI IS GETTING WORSE & WORSE!! Now it won't open over half of my previously open windows! It is constantly causing me to halt all forward progress and back-track, trying to re-create all the tabs & windows I had open!
This issue had me crazy about 6 months i talked to a Apple Specialist at Cuppertino and he explained the reasons. You just open Safari, go to "Safari" next to the apple logo, then click "preferences" you will see a Database storage option, is the last one as default shows 5 MB, and if you are using the facebook or gmail, thos heavy websites is going to crash so you just change to 100mb or more in that option.
If it doesnt work... Try to re install flashplayer, shockwave and update Java.
Solved in Macbook Late 2007 2,2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4gb 667 Mhz SDRam OSX Lion 10.7 Updated
Good Luck!
How do you re-install older versions?
That makes some sense Carlosmafud, as I can see it's Facebook that is driving up the RAM usage. No matter how many or few windows I have open, soon as I open FB, the web content almost TRIPLES, and the RAM & CPU usage jumps way up as well. I sometimes just close FB, then remove cache, and open it again, instead of waiting till web content refreshes all my windows.
I set the Database Storage up to 100MB, and will see how that works. Odd that it only goes from 100 to 500, with nothing in between, or a "custom setting" feature to make it say 200 or 300...
