White stand out box on iMac

Hi Folks.

Every time I click on a story or a link, this white standout box pops up

It happens with safari and Chrome, so I think its a Mac setting.

Is this normal ? I would like to get rid of it.

Any help would be much appreciated .

Thank You

Terry

1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings.

2. Click Desktop & Dock in the sidebar.

Hmmm, pretty strange.


Start with this...


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
