I'm unable to use facebook and other sites like pogo on safari properly. Pogo looks like the picture attached and with facebook, I click on messages and friend requests but it doesn't expand. The same for comments and more posts. 😟
I've reset Safari numerous times and I've deleted Safari from my comp and installed it again but still being the same. Can someone help?
Here's what I did to get my Safari running on one of my machines last week fro some help from Klaus. First I Reset Safari, then close Safari then navigate to:
Home/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.apple.Safari.plist
com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Also:
Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
history.plist
lastsession.plist
And
Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
(These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
They will all be recreated next time you launch Safari.
It worked for me.

Did all of that, still the same. I think I'm just going to have to take it into the Apple Store.
Did you actcually delete the files in the library's while Safari was closed?
I couldn't find any of the following :
com.apple.Safari.plist
com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
history.plist
lastsession.plist
But I put that down to me deleting the files beforehand. 😕
Check in the Preferences Folder for the first two. If there not there then something is definitely wrong with Safari.
Nope, not there. Went into Mac HD, Library, Preferences. Not there 😐
Did you also look in the user preference, not HD. If their not in either then Safari is not creating then when you first open up Safari.
Okay so I found them in the user preference, did what you suggested twice and it still opens up the same. *sigh*
Don't know what to say except uninstall all your plugins that you have as well. If that does'nt work, then talk to some more knowledgable than me on the fourums or talk to Apple.
Sorry I can't be of more service.
Getting rid of the plugins worked, I also got rid of the plugins.plist too.
Thank you very much for all your help!
Not a problem. Glad I could be of some assistance.
Well done 🙂
Some assistance? Please, if you hadn't of thought of the extensions bit, I would have had to make a journey to an Apple Store. 😍
It's the last thing I usual look at since I have found that plists corrupt in Safari more often than not. It was something nagging me that I have seen on the forums as well as other places on the net that plugins can cause more damage while trying to load sites since their not always beta tested by their developer before their released to the extent that applications are.
I spent two hours the other day because I could'nt load .pdf's or QuickTime in the browser and narrowed it down to the "com.apple.Safari.plist" being corrupt since I would rename them and fire up Safari and if it did'nt work I would go back and revert the file and try another one. I also did this with plugins, but moved them to another temp folder, but it was the "com.apple.Safari.plist" that was corrupt. I can now load .pdf's and QuickTime video files were as I could before.
It's all trial and error.
Hope your viewing experince is enjoyable., it's what Apple wants.
