Safari CMD+Z (re-open last tab) opens the latest tab but closes right away

The problem is in the title.

Here's a video of it happening : https://youtu.be/YVnnjH3Djxw

No matter the shortcut (CMD+SHIFT+T) the same thing happens. It's quite annoying.

Version : Version 16.2 (18614.3.7.1.5)

MacOS : 13.1 (22C65)

Don't know what caused this, it started happening randomly!

MacBook Pro

MacOS Safari closing tabs randomly Hi I have an issue that Safari have started to close tabs when visiting websites, very randomly. Sometimes it take 10 s, other takes a couple of minutes. Have restarted Safari and computer, deleted web history. No change in behavior. I have MacBook Air M1 with Ventura 13.1 (latest and greatest). The problems appeared after the latest MacOS update. Thanks in advance, have a nice day!

Safari keeps opening tabs I've closed and closing tabs I've purposefully left open Nothing much to say but the title - pretty frustrating as I've been using safari without issue for the last couple of months now. Still working off Big Sur 11.6.6 with a MacBook Pro 2017.

Safari is opening a new window instead of a tab-despite resetting Hi All, I am having problems with my website tabs in Safari since my MacBook updated to Sequoia 15.3.2. Every time I click a link, the website opens in a new window, rather than a new tab. i have followed the previous advice to go to settings, tabs and set to always, automatic and even never. then I have tried restarting the mac, but no joy. It seems to work sporadically to sometimes open a new tab , but then the next one goes back to opening a new window. This is driving me mad and it's only 10am! Any help, very gratefully received! Thanks

Greetings gr4v1ty,

If Safari is not working as expected on your Mac, begin by following the guidance found here:

Take care.
