Well, I'm not sure this is what you want, but here goes:

1) Bookmarks --> Add Bookmark Folder (call the new folder Startup).

2) Load whatever page you want for your home page.

3) Bookmarks --> Add Bookmark... (give the bookmark a name and save it in the Startup folder)

4) File --> Open Location... (type in about:blank and press return to load a blank page)

5) Bookmarks --> Add Bookmark... (name and save in Startup folder)

At this point the folder called Startup should have a bookmark for your preferred home page, and a bookmark for a blank page (in that order).

6) Safari --> Preferences --> General --> New windows open with --> Choose tabs folder --> Startup and click the Choose button

7) Restart Safari and see if it does what you want.

Command + T?

You could use View --> Customize Toolbar to place a "new tab" button in your toolbar, and then set Safari --> Preferences --> New tabs open with --> Top Sites.

Then just click that button to get a new tab for Top Sites.

View → Show Tab Bar

(This option will be disabled if you already have more than one tab open. Close all but one tab first.)

Do the above, then poke around in Safari Preferences> Tabs (Safari Menu) and Safari Preferences > General . You can make the new tabs open to various pages.

Ways to create a new tab in Safari:




File menu > "New Tab"




Keyboard shortcut (Command + T)




New Tab Button (Go to the View menu, select "Customize Toolbar" and drag the icon for "New Tab" into your toolbar, next to the back/forward buttons.)




Double-click anywhere on the tab bar (Go to the View menu, select "Show Tab Bar".)




Click the small "+" symbol on the far-right side of the tab bar.

Under the General tab in Safari preferences there's an option for letting new windows open with topsites. Try that.

Or type in "topsites:" into the textfield.
