If you don't want Safari to reopen all the pages that were open the last time you quit, you can do any of the following:


a) Close all windows before quitting (Command-Option-W)

b) Instead of just quitting (Command-Q), choose "Quit and Discard Windows" (Command-Option-Q, or hold down the option key when you choose from the menu)

c) Change the default to not reopen windows from last session - but this will apply to all applications, not just Safari. To do this, you can type (or copy/paste) the following line at the Terminal:



defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false


(to revert the effect of this, retype with true instead of false)
