Tabs won't close on Safari on El Capitan

Hello, after upgrading to El Capitan, I noticed that whenever I would left click on tabs to close them, Safari won't register my click unless I click about 4-5 times. I am using the trackpad on my Macbook Air. If anyone can offer suggestions on how to rectify this issue, I would be very grateful. Thank you!

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Delete com.apple.Safari.plist file and test.


Empty the Trash.

Quit all applications.

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 on it and select "Move it to Trash".

Restart. Relaunch Safari.


If this doesn’t help, “Put Back” the com.apple.Safari.plist


Right click on the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”.

Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.
