Hello, Yes, you and I are having the same issue. Whenever I open Safari, I prefer to have only my hope page open. But for some reason, it is now opening all the pages I had open the last time I quite Safari. As far as I can find, there is no setting to change that. The other little quirk I have is whenever a page is done loading, VoiceOver doesn't always put me in the html content and start interacting with it. I have to press VO-Shift-Down Arrow to start interacting with it. The second issue is not that bad, but just a little annoying. I sure would like to know if I can get Safari to open only my home page and not all the tabs and windows I had open the last time before quitting Safari.
