Bug fix: Safari 13 Extensions will not enable
Safari extensions will not enable in the Safari / Preferences / Extensions pane - i.e. I have loaded the latest Extensions from the App Store and when you click on the tick box, the box will not tick enabling the Extension.
Set-up:
- Late 2016 MBP with Catalina 10.15.3 and using Safari 13.0.5 - both the latest version available as far as I am aware.
- Safari Extensions installed:
- 1Password
- Evernote Web Clipper and
- Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
- I have the latest version of these Apps and their Extensions.
- In Safari:
- Safari Develop menu switch on.
- Within the Develop menu:
- Disable Extensions is not checked
- Allow unsigned extensions is checked
- Using the Develop menu I have Empt(ied) Caches.
Checks I have made:
- Ran Etrecheck - no issues to resolve or resolved
- Tried to find and delete the com.apple.safari.plist - cannot find that prefs file in the Library - which I find strange.
- Restarted my MBP in Safe Mode
- Tried to enable the extensions - still did not work.
- Tried to Disable Extensions, restart Safari and unchecked Disable Extensions - does not work.
- Restarted back into Normal mode:
- Tried again to enable Safari extensions - does not work
- Reinstalled Catalina
- Launched Safari
- Tried to enable Extensions - still does not work.
- Launched Safari
I posted this message requesting some bug fixing help!
