Safari browser unlocking tabs

I'm very frustrated with El Crapitan. Whenever I have an open safari and three tabs open, if I hit one, he will be himself unlock from the browser and make it a separate window.  I can't add it to the original browser that was opened. Often, if I just hit it by accident once, it will create a new window. How to prevent this, because it didn't happen with the previous OS (which is FAR superior to El crapitan on my macbook air.)

This feature of El Capitan is a feature to save time, once you get used to it; It occurs when you have two or more tabs open, then use tab while dragging. Since it is an integral part of the operating system, the best solution is to avoid slipping while on the mode tab.

You're not the only one to find this irritating feature:

    Hello, I get an urgent message to communicate a number of phone about my safari browser. Is it a scam? What is the official support of Safari Apple #? Thanks for your help?

    It's a scam.

    Force Quit Safari using the command + Option + ESC shortcut keyboard, then restart Safari while hiding the SHIFT key .

    Then, to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data of the website can leave then restart Safari.

    That should eliminate the alert/scam.

  • After iOS 9.3 update safari browser crashes

    I noticed that my safari browser blocks most of the time, especially when I open a new tab in the background. This problem started after I upgraded to ios 9.3

    Are you running iOS 9.3.1 correct?   9.3.1 was supposed to solve a problem of links in Safari.

    If yes try resetting Safari. Close Safari completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of Safari until it disappears from the display. You may need to search the Safari part covering scribbles to the left. Then go to settings > Safari > clear the history and data from the Web site. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears.

    If this does not help, try disabling the Suggestions of Safari. Settings > Safari > Suggestions of Safari to off (not green).

  • my safari browser is no longer supported on my macbookpro5, 2

    I have a macbookpro 5.5 and have long been messaged my safari browser is no longer supported. is it possible to find an update for my mac?

    Safari updates are related to the OSX levels. 10.6.8 cannot run the latest version of Safari 9. Your options are:

    (1) update of Mac OS on your computer. Your will support the current version of El Capitan, if you have at least 4 GB of RAM. However, most programs Alumni such as AppleWorks and any version of MS Office: older than Office 2008 Mac will stop working as soon as you leave OS 10.6

    (2) If you do not want to upgrade your operating system, switch browsers. FireFox is good for now, but there are messages that it will soon work on any Mac OS more than 10.9 Mavericks.

    I tried Seamonkey which seems to keep OS 10.6 supports and it looks and feels like FireFox. Very nice.

    Do not receive a download using a site or the other browser. Get that from their respective developers:

    FireFox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/products/

  • Why is el capitan slowing/freezing applications I try to use on my macbook pro 13 "2010 mid? 16 minutes to open safari and 2 tabs, another 1/2 hour to load. missed reading iTunes, imovie took 12 hours to import a clip, then en

    El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

    A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

    I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

    So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

    I have two macbook pro and two iphones, used for video and audio digital professional. I might as well have a Dell.
