    Go step by step and test.

     

    1. Empty Caches

     

        Safari > Preference > Advanced

        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.

     

    2. Delete Cookies

     

        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:

        Click “Remove All Website Data”.

     

    3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions

     

        Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.

        Turn on those one by one and test.

    if this is necessary (it could cause me to have to re-enter a lot of data for certain sites) then the implication is that the com.apple.WebKit.WebContent application should not be active? why is it a concern exactly?

    Thanks
