safari 14.0.1 under Mojave is blocking dialogs

I have found Safari 14.0.1 under MacOS Mojave (10.14.6) to be blocking dialogs. Safari 14.0 under Mojave is fine. Safari 14.0.1 under Catalina is fine. My machines are up to date with the latest software from Apple. The problem exists before and after Security Update 2020 006 10.14.6 is applied.


The repeatable problem across multiple machines running Mojave....

Go to any site where you want to upload files. For instance...gmail.com Start a new email, click attach...no dialog appears. Or, go to a client's file sharing site, click the upload button to upload a file, no dialog box appears.


I found old articles on the web from years past from companies like Box. However their instruction no longer applies. In Preferences, under Security, there are no Plugins shown (like Java) which it seems this problem may be related to.

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

It looks like the 14.0.3 update finally fixed this bug:

It’s broken in Mojave. Don’t know if Apple will fix it. It works in other browsers, but if you want to keep using Safari, I downloaded the Mojave installer from the App Store and ran it. Then do system upgrades for everything BUT Safari 14.0.1 and you’re all set. If you see a newer Safari for Mojave after that, you can try it again.

I have the same problem - dialog box attach (from computer) on Yahoo mail in Safari 14.0.1 (OS Mojave) (can't upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur b/c of Quickbooks 2016 - doesn't work.

If, however, I go to Chrome browser - I get drop down dialog box and can attach file as usual.

Any fixes - besides reinstalling Mojave & don't update Safari? Shouldn't Apple be doing this?
