unable to open settings in virgin mail using safari
When accessing settings in a virgin mail account the file does not open properly for use. It does open properly if Firefox is used.

What version of the OS are you using?
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Caches.db and move it to the trash.
Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.

Thank you Linc, I think your suggestions are correct but the problem has not been solved just yet, so I will try again. I use Safari on my iPad and have been able to access the Virgin web pages from there, so that seems to confirm that the problem is in the history settings somewhere.
I suggest you start by taking the steps recommended in this support article.
Thank you Eric, that did it first time. Using the Develop menu, then emptying caches was enough.
Much appreciated.
Barry
You are welcome.
