When I try to click on a link or actually try to do anything in safari i get a system beep and nothing else. It's as if there is a modal dialog open someplace that demands my attention before I can do anything in safari. I've "forced quit" a number of times and restarted my computer to no avail. I'm using the latest version of Mojave.
Thanks
If the above doesn't work, try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues.

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. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply. After pasting the report in a PasteBin page, go to the top of the page, and copy the address in the URL bar. Paste that in a new reply. Pastebin

1. As a test, hold the shift key down and launch Safari.
2. 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.
Thanks, creating a new admin. account and logging in with that account fixed the problem. I’m very grateful for your assistance!
Thanks for your suggestion. I was able to fix the problem by creating a new admin account and logging in with it.
You are welcome. You might want to try the Safe Mode in your normal user account to see if that works.
