From the Safari menu bar, select

Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions

Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Hi Linc

I use Safari 8.0.3, no extensions, but no lock indicating a secure connection. Also, even though I've set preferences to show the entire address, the URL bar does not show http or https, the URL starts with "www". Is this a problem with the page? Firefox reveals that it is a "https" page.
