Thanks for getting back to us.


You can check to see if an extension is to blame by booting into safe mode. Here's how: How to use safe mode on your Mac


"Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed."


Let us know what happens.


Have a fantastic day!

Hi JovonaP, thanks for your reply, I have also done that but they are still not showing up when I open up safari, they are visible in the sidebar but they are still not showing up on the start page of safari. I don't know how it happened but I have a feeling it has something to do with one of my safari extensions like honey or Coupert, but im not sure
