when going to my banks website and trying to open a statement, I used to get an adobe pdf pop up. after updating to safari 10.1, when clicking on the link to a statement, the new window is black with the "blocked plugin" button. Holding the option key and clicking on the "blocked plugin" button has no effect. Any ideas on if the flash/adobe plugin s are to blame, or if its safari?

Try un-installing and then re-installing. Then go to Safari/Preferences/Security and make sure Allow Plugins is checked. Then click Plugin Settings and make sure Flash is enabled.

Is this an allowed site?
I don't have Adobe Reader installed to test.
Safari > Preferences > Security > Internet plug-ins > Allow Plug-ins > Plug-in Settings
Make sure that Adobe Acrobat is enabled.
Make sure that "Currently Open Website" and "When visiting other websites:" options are not set to "Off".
Yes, and it will allow me to open a pdf link from a federal website in a new tab or window. I test this method by enabling and disabling the Adobe Reader plugin. However, with the plugin disabled (where I can open in a new tab/window) Safari will still not allow me to download/save a pdf file from a subscribed photography website.
Thanks for the ideas, but yes, I've played with all the plugin settings. I do have an adobe reader plugin, and what I discovered was that I could open the pdf in another window or tab if i disabled the reader plugin. What I suspect is that the plugin I have needs to be updated to meet whatever security enhancement has taken place with the Safari update. Te reader plugin I have for Adobe Reader is version 10.1.16.
I tried this and it did not work for me.
This is the website my bank is trying to take me to: https://connect.secure.wellsfargo.com/accounts/documents/retrieve/8552c489-a31b- 4823-9c6d-5d4b0727324c?_x=NAixGw1wNpt2ir…
It will never be the same, so how will we ever be able to unblock it in Safari Preferences? I already called the bank and they said it was a safari problem, because this works in Chrome, which i also have on my MacBook, for cases just like this one, when Safari absolutely will not work. This just started happening this year. Worked last year.
Here's a very easy fix I found on another website ("Ask Different"), which worked perfectly for me:
"Although the plugin is blocked, you can still use Command-S (or File > Save As) as well as File > Export as PDF to save the file to a folder."
It had never occurred to me that I could do anything with a "blocked" file, but this is the simplest and most effective solution I have seen.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash several times since the last update to Safari. I've uninstalled the reader. I made all of the changes as suggested to the Security settings. NOTHING works. Any other ideas? this is VERY frustrating. I am sorry to have installed the update.
This thread is about people unable to display web files because of a "blocked plugin" notification, and all the other posts are about pdf files. If you are getting a black screen with a "blocked plugin" message, you might be able to save the file even though you can't see it - even if it isn't in pdf format. Or maybe not, but you won't know if you don't try, and if it works, it's a **** of a lot easier than all the things you've already gone through.

Already tried that See my reply in this post: Re: "Blocked Plug-In" when opening pdf from Safari
From what I've discovered, it's an Adobe pdf Reader problem and not a Flash problem. Safari used to let me download and open pdf files, which are now blocked.
Have you tried disabling the Adobe Reader plugin?
Check out my post from June 13 (immediately above yours), and let me know if it works. With any luck, it could make your life a bit less frustrating.
received your email. I am having an issue with Adobe Flash plug-in. Your note is about PDF files.
