After having updated my Mac mini M2 from Ventura to 14.7.2, Safari 18.2. will not open files from its download folder within Safari.
I am getting a error message that this pdf/zip/other file can not be opened by Safari, as there is no program available to open this file. In Finder though, the files can be opened normally.
Anyone having a idea what is going on here?
Mac mini, macOS 14.7
I've had the same thing. Looked like Safari didn't get the message the download was completed successfully. I cleared my list, removed the download, restarted Safari and tried again. That did it for me.
This weird behavior got solved for me with updating to MacOS 14.7.3 and/or Safari 18.3
A file download using Safari will, normally, download the file to the Downloads Folder adjacent to the Trash ( Bin ) in the Dock
Or the Downloads folder appearing in the Sidebar of Finder
If we circle back to Safari and the icon for downloaded files
Yes, in my setup Sequoia 15.1 with Safari Version 18.2 (20620.1.16.11.8)
If I attempt to Click to Open the " Activity.ofx " file
Nothing will happen - full stop
The only option available is to Clear
Omitted to mention
Yes, I do have an Application installed that can Open and Use the " Activity.ofx "
Where is the download folder in Safari?
Safari downloads files into the folder in Finder.
You can show the downloads recently completed in Safari. Is that where they don't open?
Exactly, it's from this symbol within Safari showing recently downloaded files.
Open files from Safari download folder
