I don't use tabs in Safari but this works for me:

make new internet location file at dest to curl with properties

I have been trying every which way I can. Applescript paths are
getting in my way. I want to save the file to ~/somefolder which is
in my home folder, but nothing I try works:
set dest to "/Users/me/somefolder"
set dest to "/Users/me/somefolder/"
set dest to ":Users:me:somefolder"
set dest to ":Users:me:somefolder:"
set dest to "Volumes:drive:Users:me:somefolder"
set dest to ":Volumes:drive:Users:me:somefolder"
set dest to "drive:Users:me:somefolder"
set dest to ":drive:Users:me:somefolder"
None of those seem to work, I have also added "as string" to the end
and still get an error. Any help would be appreciated.
Also trying this and still not getting anywhere:
( Dropbox does exist in my home folder )
set homeFolder to (path to home folder from user domain)
tell application "Finder"
set someFolder to (folder "Dropbox" of homeFolder) as alias
set dest to someFolder
end tell
display dialog dest as string
tell application "Safari"
set curl to URL of document 1
set dnam to name of document 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
make new internet location file at dest to curl with properties
{name:dnam}
end tell
It worked just fine up the point where I tried to not use (path to
Desktop)
