A Few Thoughts...


A. Report this to Apple:

  1. Go Here: Feedback - Safari - Apple
  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Select:
  4. Proceed from there as necessary.


B. Use Malwarebytes for Mac:

Install Malwarebytes for Mac.  Malwarebytes for Mac is developed by longtime users of these forums, making it only reliable security software for Mac. Malware makes your Mac act in a "malicious" manor: malware (malicious Software)

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes uninstaller


C. Create a New User:

On, your iMac Pro, create a new Administrator user. If this fixes it, then transfer everything over (i.e. documents and photos). All apps will remain accessible.


D. Clearing Temporary Internet Files:

Clearing your Temporary Internet Files (Cookies & Cache) of Safari. Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data. Whereas, Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.  Use this Link: Clearing History and Cache - Apple Communities
