Hey all
I just noticed today that Safari is saving clicked on links to my reading list, rather than opening them. The only way I can get it to open a link is the left click on it and select "open link in a new tab or window." Is there anything can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help or advice.

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.

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.

Hey there
Just letting you know I restarted my computer and it seemed to take forever and a day. When it did finally restart it looks like to me it went to "Safe Mode" on its own, as I did nothing. I say this, as I saw "Safe Mode" listed on the screen somewhere. I am noticing that some programs such, as Malewarebytes did not load after restarting my computer. I have heard of "Safe Mode," but don't know much about it and I certainly don't know how to get into it on my own. Just wondering if my system software detected something wrong (bad) on my computer and that is why it went into "Safe Mode." Lastly would note that just before restarting my computer that my Apple Magic Mouse was misbehaving. For instance it would select multiple e-mail message in Mail, even when I did not prompt it to.
Thanks again for your help and advice.
Just letting you know that everything seemed to be okay in "Safe Mode." Also restarted a second time and this time it was not in "Safe Mode" and everything seems to okay, thus far.
You are welcome. Good. The Safe Mode helps reset the computer and sometimes that is all it takes to clear a problem.
