If you are not using Saft, then the file you need to find is: If you don't have a backup from just before you lost your session, you're out of luck. I have a Time Capsule and therefore backup every hour while at home. This hint assumes that you do very regular backups. (Now, connection errors are your last session.)

#SAFARIRESTORE WINDOWS#

(No session info gets stores on quit, so when you reopen, 'Reopen All Windows From Last Session' gives you nothing or junk.) And another way is to start Safari with no internet connection, try (and fail) to reload your last session, and then quit. Another sure way to destroy your session is to quit the browser while in Private Browsing mode. There might be a kernel panic at just the wrong time.

Safari or an in-process add-on might corrupt memory, thereby corrupting your session info. There are a number of ways that your session might be lost. Even with Saft, however, Safari isn't perfectly reliable. At the time, I installed Saft, and I never looked back. I've had some open for months, because I haven't gotten around to reading them, or because I've been actually using them this whole time (on and off) for a project.Īs far as browsers go, Safari isn't too bad, but its crash protection is basically nonexistent, or at least it was when I started using Tiger. Right now, I have ten windows up, each of which has four or more open web pages, and that's only because I just went through and closed a bunch I didn't need. I tend to accumulate too many open web documents. You can also just choose to disable it.Power users often have dozens of documents open in Safari at any one time, some possibly for months at a time, and it can be infuriating to have Safari crash or for some other reason lose everything you had open. I can see, however, how it might be a privacy issue if you share the same computer and account with someone elseĪlso have never found any instabilities to it that I am aware of.Īnd as a general comment for all extensions, seeing that it has been asked here several times, to uninstall this or any extension, just go to Safari->Preferences->Extensions (which becomes a tab in Safari) and choose 'uninstall'. Very handy, particularly for single-user machines. If you haven't used that tab in the current session, it doesn't seem possible to access it again via Safari's history feature, BUT with Safari Retore, I can bring up the Safari Restore tab/window and go to a previous session that had said lost URL tab at the end of a session, and get it back. The most useful aspect, I find, is for when I accidentally close a tab, which I have kept over several sessions.

#SAFARIRESTORE FULL#

Tthat extra tab or window with the Restore Session header is where one can choose to look at previous sessions (menu on LHS), and then choose to reopen any full session or portion of one that you need. But with a few minutes of diligent checking it out, it all became clear. At first I didn't really see the purpose of it, as Safari allows one to retain the tabs and URL's from previous sessions, and having an extra tab for it open upon starting up Safari confused me. I've been using this extension for a while and have come to really appreciate it.
