Safari 8.0 - Extensions have gone missing and vanished.

Question

Safari 8.0 - Extensions have gone missing and vanished.

My safari extensions are gone - one day they just disappeared. I have tried to re-install them but when I quit safari the extensions are missing again.

I have restarted the computer and still nothing.

I have turned extensions off and on and restarted and still nothing.

I have even tried /Users/~/Library/Safari/Extensions and deleting the folder but it didn't do anything.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Apple stores a list of installed extensions in Keychain Access. Delete it.

Launch Spotlight and enter keychain in the search bar.

Click Keychain Access icon.

When Keychain Access window opens, enter “extensions” in the search box at the top right corner.

When Safari Extension List” shows up, highlight it, right click on it and choose “Delete Safari Extensions List”.

Quit Keychain Access.

I've had this problem with Safari 7 almost from the get go. Tonight I found your advice and applied it (although Keychain Access didn't want to cooperate initially). It seems to have done the trick. Thanks.
