Q: Installing Safari 10 Extensions?
How do I install extensions in Safari 10 in MacOS Sierra?
In Safari, when I go to Safari / Safari Extensions in the menus, it drops me in the Safari Extensions Gallery web page where I can browse extensions. However, I am unable to install anything because there are no links or buttons to do so. At the top of the page is say the gallery is for extensions intended to run on Safari 9.0. What about Safari 10?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12), Safari 10

I figured out what it was. I had Avast installed on both machines for antivirus protection. When I couldn't disable the "web shield", I uninstalled the application. It also took a "Clear History" in Safari before the links appeared. Reinstalling Avast did not cause the links to disappear, so I think we are good on this end. Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I spoke too soon. Avast's Web Shield still blocks links to install the extensions, but since reinstalling I'm able to disable the software, so there is a work-around.
