Safari 6.1 mountain lion doesn't save changes I made in preferences window.

Why Safari 6.1 doesn't save changes I made in preferences window, such as: home page, etc...?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist


Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services Show Info

from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.

  • Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
  • In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
  • What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it ( command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
