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
P.S. The image story is just a sample and doesn't relate to my issue
iMac 27″, macOS 13.4
So this doesn't work?
marcos Ventura or later
1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings.
2. Click Desktop & Dock in the sidebar.
3. Scroll down on the right and turn on "Close windows when quitting an app."
I not...
We need to see what all is running & machine specs, a report from this will not display any personal info...
EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.
Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…
Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
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.
I tried as you said... marcos Ventura or later
1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings.
2. Click Desktop & Dock in the sidebar.
3. Scroll down on the right and turn on "Close windows when quitting an app
Still no luck ! I will have a look at EtreCheck...Thanks again
From within Safari, please check Settings (Preferences) - Websites - Reader - At the bottom right corner, set the “When visiting other websites” to Off. Screenshot shot below for clarity.
Okay I will give that a try and see how I go..Thanks for your feedback
I tried the safe reboot, but unfortunately It's still happening, Thanks anyway.
You are quite welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
Enjoy.
