Automatically new tab safari

GTP · September 27, 2024, 10:57am

Since the update to Sequoia 15.0 and safari 18.0, bitwarden opens automatically a new tab .
When I start safari (MacBook Air) and switch profile (personal to work) then after few milliseconds a new tab opens always to this Bitwarden page: Browser Extension Getting Started | Bitwarden
The extension is active, how do I prevent that Bitwarden opens this tab/website as soon as I start safari?

I have the same issue with Sonoma 14.7 and Safari 18.0.1, Bitwarden keeps opening tabs randomly, even after I’ve unlocked the extension.

I am experiencing the same issue with Sequoia 15.1 and Safari 18.1.
I would appreciate acknowledgment from a developer, as this is a rather inconvenient issue. While it may not be a deal-breaker, it is certainly nerve-wracking.

Thank you

Having the same or similar issue. When Bitwarden extension updated to 2024.11.0 in Safari it opened 3 of the Getting Started page in quick succession on multiple machines.

Same issue here. It’s driving me mad. Happens on both my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air.

Experiencing a similar or same problem. Three of the Getting Started pages appeared quickly on several computers when the Bitwarden extension was upgraded to 2024.11.0 in Safari.

Related to #11287: Bitwarden Safari Plugin don't stop open tabs

### Steps To Reproduce Steps To Reproduce: 1. Install the Bitwarden macOS cl…ient from the App Store. 2. Activate the Safari Plugin from Safari's Extensions preferences. 3. Observe that the plugin intermittently opens new tabs displaying the "Getting started" page on bitwarden.com. 4. The issue occurs when the user is not logged in to Bitwarden, but also when they are not interacting with Safari at all. 5. After manually closing the tabs, they reappear after a while, seemingly every 1-2 hours. ### Expected Result Bitwarden should not repeatedly open the "Getting started" page in new Safari tabs. ### Actual Result The Safari extension continuously opens new tabs showing the "Getting started" page, even if such a tab is already open or was previously opened. This behavior causes an overflow of tabs in Safari, requiring manual effort to close them. ### Screenshots or Videos _No response_ ### Additional Context _No response_ ### Operating System macOS ### Operating System Version 15.0.1 ### Web Browser Safari ### Browser Version 18.0.1 ### Build Version 2024.9.0 ### Issue Tracking Info - [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

If you have any new information that can help with diagnosis and debugging (beyond the information already available in the bug report thread), you may want to add to the discussion on GitHub.
