How can I reload all tabs in safari
Once upon a time there was an option to reload all tabs in Safari by right-clicking on any tab. That's either gone or hidden. If the latter, can anyone share the secret? Thanks

Hold down Control, click on a tab, then select "Reload all tabs." You can also right-click on the tab and select "Reload all tabs" as well; it's not gone.
On my version of Safari 9.0.1 within El Capitan, it's gone, the option is no longer available
That's good information to have, but the person I was responding to did not specify which version of Safari he was using, so I had to work off the assumption that we both were running 8.0.1, and thus that's the advice I gave.
I am using 9.0.1 as well. I guess the feature was too useful so it's been discontinued... ;-)
I can confirm it is gone in the official release as of ten minutes ago. Both 'Reload this tab' and 'Reload all tabs' are not present. Right-click or command-click do not enable the feature either. THAT was a very useful feature, and please put it back Apple.
You are right, I can not find this function in Safari anymore. If someone find how to solve it, I hope he will write it here!
command R will reload the tab
Hi have been using Apple as my main OS since January, I dont understand why they offer a new OS and remove some features, at the moment I have seen bad changes in "empty trash" and now in Safari TABS
I used this feature all the time in the previous versions of Safari and I always use a number of tabs or a preset tab group; it doesn't make sense to remove it. I hope they put it back in a version update. Could the addition of pinned tabs be why it is gone?
Very good point - I'll forward Apple my opinion of the change shortly! 🙂
This extension works, but it is in the Safari toolbar. I got used to using it immediately, but would like the contextual menu function back. Get it from Safari Extensions and drag it to the toolbar. https://safari-extensions.apple.com/?q=reload
I found this "work round" for this issue:
Open Automator and have it start a new document. Choose "Service" for the type of document. At the top of the window click the pop up button and scroll to the bottom and choose "No Input". For the next button choose the Safari application.
Next using the Automator's library, double-click on "Run Applescript" and the framework for it will show up in the right hand pane. In this pane copy the following script:
tell application "Safari"
repeat with i from 1 to the count of windows
set this_win to (window i)
repeat with j from 1 to the count of every tab in this_win
do JavaScript "window.location.reload()" in (tab j of window i)
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
Now save this, I named mine "Reload All Tabs" and close Automator. Or you can test is by running it from Automator.
No matter if you have three tabs, or if like me, 38 tabs, they all reload when you run this script. The only caveat I will say that it will throw up an error that you can just click OK to. I have figured out what the error is coming from but it causes no harm.
error "Safari got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." is the error and the explanation is:
"the application doesn't know what those commands are, passes the error up the chain to AppleScript, but AppleScript knows what they are and does it."
Cheers and hope this helps!
Thanks rruggles. This works!
