Reopening Safari 6 doesn't restore open tabs

Is there a way to have Safari 6 reopen the tabs that were active when it is closed and reopened?


Thanks.

Already unchecked for me and it does allow reopening of all tabs *if* I have quit Safari 6.


The main problem seems instead to be if I simply (i.e. unthinkingly) close the main window. There is no warning given at that point. If then I quit Safari it will quite correctly restore that empty state. So, Apple, where did the warning go to? Also, commenting on earlier advice about the 'Reopen all windows from last session' menu option in the History menu, that seems to be permanently greyed-out for me.

No, this is *not* fixed in neither 10.8.1, nor 10.8.2 (just installed it).


Launching Safari after a manual quit, kill or restart does *not* bring the last session tabs automatically.


It still requires to manually do it: Safari -- History -- Reopen all windows from last session.


It is the small, but right things, which make OS X great. Missing them is making it not that attractive.

Alas it still doesn't reslove the original problem. With the right settings as above Safari will resore tabs if it has been quit. However, if in a momentary lapse one closes the main window with the red button, all tabs are closed without any kind of 'Did you mean to ...' warning and Safari will not restore those tabs other than one at a time through delving in History. It's the lack of a warning message that really irks because at least that would give a momentary pause for thought as to whether one really wants to lose the lot. Please Apple, fix this minor point.
