I have OS 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1.3 running on an iMac 27" I7 (mid-2010) with 16gb memory. EVERY TIME I try to delete a bookmark, any bookmark, I get a beach ball and Safari hangs. It goes unresponsive and I have to force quit the thing. Pretty unusable. Anybody run into this one?
Thanks,
Brad
Delete Safari .plist file.
Quit all applications. Click on an empty spot on the desktop to activate Finder.
Hold the “Option” key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
Select “Library” from the drop down.
Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
Right click it and select "Move to Trash". Close Finder window.
Please don’t empty the Trash.
Restart. Launch Safari.
Test Safari. Try editting bookmarks
If this doesn’t help;
Put back the com.apple.Safari.plist
Right click the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”
Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.
Thanks, dominic23, your response. I do appreciate your help. Unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. Thanks a lot for your quick reply, though.
