Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi everyone,
Safari has a nuisance bug on my end.
When opening the browser, initially none of the URLs typed in the URL bar open, and none of the URLs from my browsing history appear. This problem resolves itself after 5 or more attempts at opening bookmarked websites or from search engines.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Thanks to all,
G

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply.

Hi Eric,
Many thanks for your reply. Your first option succeeded. The problem didn’t occur when I was logged in as a different user.
Would you kindly be able to provide further instructions?
much appreciated!
You are welcome. Try booting into the Safe Mode in your normal user account, test, and then reboot normally and test. It may not help, but try running/posting the Etrecheck report.
Thanks Eric. Unfortunately none of the solutions succeeded. Etrecheck also did not identify any issue.
Thoughts?
Thanks again
If the above doesn't work, please try posting the Etrecheck report in PasteBin and provide a link.
Many thanks!
