A friend of mine is having trouble with some browser popups. Well, they don’t actually pop up, but when she opens Safari, it opens two more windows for Travelzoo and Consumer Lifestyle Weekly. Clearing cookies got rid of it for the moment, but I guess I’m wondering if it’s going to come back and what the permanent solution would be. My Google-fu is failing me, I couldn’t even really find anyone else with instances of this. She’s using a MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.4 (Lion, I think?). Anybody know what’s going on?
Lion introduced a wonderful(?) feature that restores windows that were open when you closed the app. It can be turned off, but it’s on by default. It’s in the General tab in System Preferences. That might be what’s going on.
