Can't enable safari extensions

I am on the latest version of MacOS and Safari and I am unable to click the checkmark to enable Safari extensions. However, I am able to click disable on an extension. Any ideas?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Yes. Quit any apps that put overlays on screen, such as F.lux or any other apps that augment system wide display. That, or restart in Safe Mode (with shift down) and make your changes in the Safari Preferences.

Ah, sorry. I was responding to leroydouglas who shared a screenshot of his active extensions. The problem is when they’re disabled, they can’t be re-enabled, but that means that many people likely never know there’s a problem. I was curious if he’d tried disabling them.


As far as I know, there’s no way to re-enable them until Apple fixes this bug. I have the same problem.
