I've never gotten command+option+Q to work in any application, try as I may.

Hi,
John is correct. As mentioned in a separate thread, you can use the
cmd-option-q which will Quit and Discard Windows, thus allowing you to
startup Safari from your Homepage. Alternatively, you can go into your
system Preferences, select the General pane and uncheck the box for
Recovering Windows. It sometimes doesn't take effect right away, but it
will. If you have problems with this, please repost and someone will
assist.
Later…

Have you tried quitting Safari with, option-command-q instead of just
command-q? I believe this will close all of the active Safari Windows and
will not have them open next time you start Safari.

Teresa,
I saw that too, but it's not a checkbox. It's an option that lets Safari
open all the windows from the last session.
So that doesn't work.
Looks like 1 way of doing this is when I am done and about to quit
Safari, close all tabs and windows, then open my home page, then quit.
I can't imagine there is no way to just open the home page instead of all
windows from last session. Otherwise, what's the point of a home page?

In the history menu in Safari, uncheck "Reopen all windows from last

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.

I wholeheartedly agree with Chris here. Calm down, folks. If there's
an issue, first check if there's a solution or workaround for the
thing, if not, ask a question here, after the frustration has settled,
and if that doesn't help, write a polite letter to Apples
Accessibility team. I've got a couple issues i'm investigating now,
one of them are on-topic here, and it's about how i go about having
Safari not to open all the pages i had up last every time i open a new
page. It makes sense when first starting Safari directly, but if
there's a page i want to read, i don't want to have to close all the
other pages that pop up and taking focus away from the page i want to
read. Surely there must be a setting somewhere, only i can't find it.

And in case anyone actually cares, this has nothing to do with vo or
lion. The reason Jaws won't download on safari is that by default,
freedom scientific offers direct ftp links to their downloads and
safari apparently can't handle direct ftp links. If you REALLY want
to download Jaws from a mac, FS offers a page for http downloads.
Frankly, the whole item chooser thing really doesn't bother me much
as the web roder has always worked for me and that is for the web. I
am glad I upgraded, and I'm even getting used to the new mail. I
think we all just need to calm down a bit. As far as apple not
caring, just because they don't talk to us doesn't mean they don't
care. They don't talk to anyone, it's as simple as that. Missy, I
really hope you get your power situation straightened out, but I
don't think that is a lion issue either. Calm down everyone. :)

Hi guys.
Just to add a little to what Carolyn said, it's been two days since
Lion came out so don't expect these problems to just magically go
away.
If they are making some of you guys that angry, switch back to SL.
It can be done easily enough if you have a recent backup.
Email off list please if you need help doing this seeing as this is
starting to become not VO related anymore.
Thanks and for those that need too, chill!

Hi Chris:
Do yourself and all of us a favor:
Step away from the computer and chill for a while before writing a

Not exactly that anyone would really want! to download this, but,
why in the heck is it, that if I go to either

Take your pick, for one, I am finding the item chooser stuff
happening here as well, if you do vo+I then type d o w... stick
with me, it gets even weirder than item choser stuff... I'm just
setting some ground... anyway, if you hit vo+i, then do d o w,
you won't get the downloads link, yet if you use vo+U and go to
links in the roter, then! do it, it works, then go to jaws for
windows screen reading software, then try to find the jaws 12
download link, if you hit vo+space on that link, Safari says the
page cannot be found. Now, here's the weird part. If I try this
from my xp pro sp3 machine with either I E, or Firefox, then hit
enter on the link, same network l A n, same public I P address,
same internet connection, etc. same d h c p, same d n s, same
router, nothing changes but the platform, the download works like
a charm! Let me say this, no jokes. I've had a really rough day,
and quite frankly am not in the mood for the smart mouth comments,
like, well yeah, Jobs hates FS so he blocked you from the site, or
why would you compare jaws to VO, or want to download the fish...
you may have a point, but no you really don't, OK. This isn't
about one screen reader being better than another. this is about
the item chooser, and the router, and the downloading in Safari
consistently across many pages be very inconsistently odd in
behavior. Take it as such. If you can't offer anything
resourcesful and just wanna throw lookie jokes around, look, I'm
not tonight as I would normally be, in the mood for it. OK?
Please, if you all test and find the same thing, let me know. I'd
be interested if anyone knows why the things in Safari have to be
so d*** annoying. I'm frustrated yes, the mods could say that and
that I need to chill, and I'm willing to, but people, come on! I
mean, really, one could argue, I'm not the one who decided to jup
into Lion right away. You're right. Perhaps I jumped the gun too
soon. But, that really isn't your right to say. The thing is,
I'm getting more stressed with the Lion update by the minute.
What ticks me off more though is Apple doesn't seem to give a
rat's butt one way or another, ar at least it doesn't appear that
way, but I'll explain more about that in another more rellavant
post. It's making my experience though not very enjoyable, I tell
ya that! though.
Chris.
