Q: Google Chrome hijacked File/Share/Email This Page in Safari 9.0.1
This concerns OS X El Capitan version 10.11.1 on a late 2009 iMac.
The problem is that it has become impossible for Safari 9.0.1 to “share” a webpage by emailing it via Apple Mail (9.1). When “File”/“Share”/“Email This Page” is selected on Safari, Google Chrome launches and opens a webmail account. Heretofore, when “File”/“Share”/“Email This Page” was selected on Safari, Apple Mail would activate.
Google seems to be co-opting the “Mail” extension, because navigating to Apple menu/System preferences/Extensions/Share Menu brings up a list of extensions that may be checked or unchecked. The extension entitled “Mail” is shown but it may not be selected or unchecked; it is dimmed and permanently checked; and the icon for the “Mail” extension is the Google Chrome icon.
Could it be that the inalterable “Mail” extension interferes with Apple Mail 9.1?
