Every time I open Safari on my Mac [latest updates all installed], a window called "Safari Extensions" opens up - needing to be closed before being able to use Safari.
This the same window which opens when you click on Safari, then Safari Extensions. So it appears to be legitimate, just a nuisance when it opens uninvited.
I am using Sophos protection and a scan shows no malware.
Hello Bomber44,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to open Safari without the Extensions window also opening and needing to be closed first before using Safari. To help with this, please quit Safari, and then hold the Shift key while opening Safari again.
Automatically re-open windows, apps, and documents on your Mac
Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:
Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode
Cheers!
