Safari can't connect to the server...firefox or whatever other browser can, please help

Nobody please...been trying to find how to make safari work for days now, could really use some prof. help 😟

thank you for your time and replying softwater!

unfortinatly non of the above mentioned suggestions work, hitting Cmd-R does absolutely nothing, the page keeps saying "can't connect..." its not even trying to connect really...only a second after i launch Safari i get the page.

The Extension list is completely empty..there are no third party extensions installed what-so-ever.

I loged in to my wife's macbook using my internet connection and Safari just works...checked out all the Safari settings on here computer and compared them to mine and its exactly the same set up...only thing is Safari on my MacPro, for some reason just doesn't work

all help is welcome

Hi Linc

only firewall i have active is the one under system preferences - security - Firewall: On

Already tried turning it off but that didn't made any difference, no connection.

no web-filtering,anti virus or 3rd party firewall of any kind.

weird huh😕

@Linc Davis

Wow, when booting in safe mode Safari has "no" problem with whatever website adres i type in...works like it should.

Soon as i start (not in safe mode) same problem again. Any idea on what could be the problem in this case (works in safe mode, doesn't work when starting up normaly)

@ Carolyn, thnks for the reply, computer is completely up to date, no awaiting updates...

I'm going to remove the stuff you said and get back to you to see if it indeed was litle snitch causing the problem.

"There's more, but I'm not going to answer questions you didn't ask."

Please if you have any sugestions on stuff i should remove or other tips that can have my computer running more smooth/stable do say so, i'm a complete noob when it comes to the technical part of computers.

Linc Davis, you were corect, removing litle snitch did it, safari is working again...i did turn it off earlier to see if litle snitch was the problem but obviously turning it off wasn't enuff and it had to be removed completely.

Thenk you for helping out, really appreciate your time and effort here!!!!!!!!

Cheers Linc!
