Status:Duplicate/12108978 Resolved:
Product:Safari Product Version:6.0 (8536.25)
Classification:Serious Problem Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When the process “Safari Web Content” quits (either b/c of a crash or when I intentionally kill it), the whole Safari application quits, instead of staying open and just reloading the open web pages.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open a web page in Safari.
2) Open Activity Monitor.app, look for “Safari Web Content” and kill it.

Expected Results:
Safari stays open, the web pages are reloaded.

Actual Results:
Safari quits.

Regression:
Safari 5.1 or earlier versions gave the expected results. Safari 6.0 under OS X 10.8.1 is the first version where I noticed this bug.

Notes:

Comments

This has been present since the first version of Safari 6, i.e. the first version of OS X 10.8.
