Force 'new window' links to open in new tabs in Safari
Authored by: the_0ne on Mar 26, '08 08:46:57PM

Just wanted to share a problem I had with my mbp when running this command. I noticed "no" links that would open to a new window/tab worked anymore. I mean nothing, links just stopped working. I couldn't figure out why because my iMac at work took this command fine. And both machines are configured pretty similarly.

I figured out the problem through the apple support forums. Apparently I installed SafariStand back before the upgrade to Safari 3.1. I had to remove the SafariStand.bundle file from HD/Library/Application Support/ Simbl/Plugins. Restart Safari and voila, works now and the new setting for opening new windows in tabs works fine now also.

Now, I also read in the forums that you can just reinstall the latest SafariStand and that'll work fine also. However, the only reason I installed SafariStand to begin with was for this functionality, so I didn't re-install. But like I said, my work machine has SafariStand installed and it works fine with this new command. Maybe it was just an old version of SafariStand.

Good luck...
