I can't install any extension in Safari 5.1.9.

Hello,

I am trying to install an extension to Safari (5.1.9.) however I get an error message after which the install button disappears and it says: Install Failed. Please try again later.

- I have tried deleting the user/library/caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.de

- I have tried deleting the user/library/safari/extensions/... .plist

Any suggestions?

I am using macbookpro (mid 2009) running os x 10.6.8

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

I am having the same problem. Logged out and logged in as guest and was able to install extensions. What should I do next to correct the problem? Thanks!!

Remove the Extensions folder from your original user's /Library/Safari/ directory. Relaunch Safari and see if that works.
