10.4: Make a New Tab button for Safari's toolbar
Authored by: tatilsever on Feb 05, '06 08:49:49AM

Well, it sounds easier to install Firefox with its myriad extensions, some of which will surely do this and much much more. e.g. I use "tabbrowser preferences" extension on my PC.

For now, I have a less radical approach on my Mac which does not involve any compiling, building or installation. I have set my homepage to be a blank local file that I have created by typing:

touch blank_safari.html

When I hit the homepage button in the toolbar with the middle button of my mouse it creates a new blank tab. (I have assigned the middle button to be "Button 3" through "System Preferemces".)

If I used Firefox and "tabbrowser preferences" extension, Firefox would bring the new blank tab to top while every other page opened in a new tab would still not be brought forward. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to get Safari to make that distinction.

Try Ollie's Tab

Ollies Tab

It's a small easy to run package, and gives two combined buttons, left is new, right is to delete a tab.

no xcode or modifying of the NIBs needed (on the user end, I'm sure it does but there's a remove option too)
