Hi ..



You may have a Safari extension or third party plug-in installed that's causing a conflict. It's easy to troubleshoot.



From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, uninstall one at a time then quit and relaunch Safari to test.



If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.


Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.


If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
