Hi All,

One thing that I really like in my web browser (Safari in this case) is that, if it crashed, or if I needed to quit it while a bunch of pages were open, then when I started it again, I could go to the "History" menu item, and click "Reopen Last Closed Windows" (or something like that).

That recently went away (not sure when). Now when I restart Safari, that option is no longer available. I sure wish it was still there. I doubt that the functionality has been removed, so I'm hoping that someone has encountered the problem and can offer a fix (can't find anything in the prefs that seems to be relevant).

I'm running OSX 10.6.5 on a Mac Pro 2 x 2.8GHz, and Safari 5.0.3.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Cheers!

Chas

Safari 5.0.3 here...That "Reopen All Windows from Last Session" option is there for me. Is it simply grayed-out for you, or missing completely?

Hey Thorszdad, thanks for the reply.

Ah, I think I've found the problem, a plug-in that's not an extension: "SafariStand". During Halloween, I wanted to localise a flash movie of a lighting storm (I projected it out our white-sheet covered windows. That, plus outside speakers, made for a house that was spooky to actually scare a few kids away :-) and installed this in an attempt to help (it didn't), and I forgot about it.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Cheers!

Chas
