Question

How do I make Safari stay with one window as I browse?

I don't use tabs at all. When I browse on Safari, starting on my homepage, every time I click a link, a new window pops open. After a few minutes, I end up with a ton of windows open - as I X out, I end up having to X out way more pages than I used to. This seems to be a recent development. I prefer to just use one window and click the back arrow, unless I specifically drag down the "New Window" from the File drop-down. I'm on Safari 6.1.4 and using 10.8.5 on my Air.

x out way more pages?

The x only appears on tabs which you mentioned you don't use.

Not sure what you mean.

I mean the red-yellow--green circles at the top left of the window, just above the Back triangle and the toolbar. I have the tabs preference set to "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" to "never."
