After most recent OS update, opening "all tabs" in Safari no longer works: Only the first number of tabs will open, the remaining once get a message "cannot open - failed secure connection" kind of message.

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.

The very first option was the culprit: Avast apparently allowed to have the first 8 tabs opened in Safari, but blocked the remaining tabs. By removing Avast, all tabs opened smoothly. Tried to reinstall the latest version of Avast, and the problem appeared again... Now probably have to look for an antivirus programme that doesn't cause such issue.


Thanks for your help so far. Has been great piece of advice!
