Safari 12.1 >>> Download button disappeared

Since a couple of months, the download button from my Safari 12.1 disappeared. I have looked in Internet without finding any solution.


There is an old thread (from years ago) about a similar situation that does not work for this version of Safari 12.1



How can I make appear the download button? (next to the web address field)

Try downloading software like EtreCheck. , https://etrecheck.com/maspro  


Does it appear in the Toolbar?



Clearing Download items list will make it disappear.

Do you have set the History to be removed every day?

Safari > Preferences > General



Safari > View > Customize Toolbar

Drag the default set into the toolbar.

       Restart the router.

       Startup in Safe Mode.    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

       Launch Safari to test.

       Restart normally by clicking the “Restart” button at the bottom.


       Turn off extensions and test.
