Safari won't let me log out of Gmail.

The pull down menu over the picture or email icon doesn't work. I've searched every forum I can with no solution. I do not have Google+ nor do I want it. This seems to be a bug with Maverick/Safari. Firefox works fine but I'd prefer to use Safari.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hi,


It works for me in Safari

This is far right of the Mail page using the current style I am using.

My name is a drop down which shows the pic and the various options including the Log Out button.

This works.

Hi,


No Google+ here. (it's not something I think I need)


I just clicked my name to see the Drop Down with my Google Pic and went from there.

for me it works in both Safari and Firefox.


I do have Javascript enabled.

Hi,


Probably both.

it may be a quirk of the page. Most sites use javascript things to check which browser as it can make a difference to how the page displays (so you get a Safari set of HTML and CSS).


On the other hand it could be something that Apple have missed in version 7.0.1


Having said that, I can log out

I'm not using FireFox. But I can still log out of gmail when using Chrome. I'm using Safari for all my web browsing so would like to get this to work again, as it used to. Have no idea why this started. Not only can I not log out, but most of the buttons at top right do not work.

If you have firefox go to gmail, scroll down to last account activity and click details, then click sign out other sessions, thsi will sign you out of all sessoins that aren't on your current browser, meaning if you use firefox it will sign you out of it on safari.


Hope this helps,

Jack
