Re: Help! I just did something weird in Safari

I've been  in that situation before. You can use "force quit" to close Safari. 
I think it's command-option escape.

Thanks Jonathan.

There was an alert that I hadn’t heard, and that was causing the problem.
Cheers,
Donna

Very weird. 
I would try the following.
1. Disconnect from the . This way if there is a JS that is constantly opening 
new windows with content it should get disabled.
2. Try the menu based close/quit commands, it is possible for a web site to 
block the command-Q / command-W commands.
3. Use the force quit applications function

Best wishes,

Hi again,

A little more info.  So I was able to leave that page by navigating to another 
webpage.  It almost seems like I somehow disabled keyboard commands.  CMD-L 
works, but CMD W does not, CMD-Q does not.

Help! I just did something weird in Safari

2022-09-06 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries 
Hi all,

So I have absolutely no idea what I did, or how I did it.  Somehow, I opened a 
webpage that I have bookmarked, such that it is stuck open.  There is literally 
no way to close it.  Cmd-W doesn’t work.  CMD-Q won’t even close Safari.  
Clicking the close button doesn’t work.  What on earth is goin on, and how do I 
close this stupid webpage?
Thanks,
