Safari 11.1.2 buggy

After recent updates on 5/26/20 and 6/3/20 Safari is buggy. I cannot get into "Preferences" nothing happens. It froze when I tried to clear history.

I run High Sierra (10.13.6) because I have an older system and Apple as we know will not make an adjustment it so we can update to the current OS because of the graphics card issue.

But everything else I use is working fine after updates.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

If you are running High Sierra, you should be able to upgrade to Safari 13 if you want. Check the App Store for the update.


Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
