Safari does not restore tabs / not Resuming

resumesafaritabs

It seems my Safari is not resuming correctly.

I open some tabs, then quit and when fire up Safari again it's opened like wasn't have any tabs opened before.

Is it some version bug, or i should look for something in Safari prefs?

Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)
MOX 10.7.4 (Build 11E53)

EDIT:
In reaction to Michiel i've checked whether i have Resume turned on.
System preferences -> General

It's not a setting in Safari, but a general setting. Go to your System Preferences < General and make sure Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is checked on.

But you can install some 3th party apps too.

There is SafariRestore, which will basically do the same. But you have to disable the Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps on the screenshot above!
You can also add the Sessions extension to Safari which will do the same.

I haven't any experience with neither of these apps, so please let me know if it works out!

Automatically scan/cycle through safari tabs

You can use this block of AppleScript to loop through your tabs on a window:

tell application "Safari"
    repeat
        repeat with i from (count of tabs of window 1) to 1 by -1
            set thisTab to tab i of window 1
            set current tab of window 1 to thisTab
            delay 1
        end repeat
    end repeat
end tell

This will go through all your tabs and switch every 1 second. Just change the delay to change the time before each tab switches.

MacOS – Safari does not restore saved tabs when I exit via X icon

Closing the window is not the same as quitting the app.

Clicking the red X closes the window, telling Safari that you've done with the contents - leaving nothing for it to remember.

It's not clear from your question quite what you are selecting from the right click menu, but anything other than quit - or quitting after all windows are already closed, will do the same.

Note that, if you do forget & close the windows before quitting, that you can use History menu > restore all windows from last session to get them back again.
