Might be a cookie issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data then quit and relaunch Safari and try a web page.
If that doesn't help, 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. Uninstall one extension at a time, 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.
