Safari Extentions

I can't get safari extensions working. When I go to safari:preferences:extensions, it is blank. there are no options to turn it on. Any ideas?

Mac OS X (10.7.2), Itunes 10.5.1(42)

Uninstall SIMBL as follows.


Select Go Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar, then enter the following text in the box that opens:


/Library


A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.


Application Support/SIMBL

InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle

LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist

ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax


Log out and log back in.


Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.
