Safari Facebook Login

Hi dominic23,

I don't have Dashlane installed. The only extension I have in Safari is AdBlock. Unfortunately, the related link you provided didn't solve the issue as well.

I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I ran the diagnostic test. Here's the result:

EtreCheck version: 4.2.1 (4C020)

Description:

I have a problem with Safari when trying to log-in to Facebook. After I insert my credentials and hitting enter, a small window pops up (“Are you sure you want to leave this page”) giving me two options: “Stay on Page” or “Leave Page”. When I choose "Leave Page", it brings me to my News Feed. But when I click "Stay on Page", it just stays on the facebook main page however I am unable to log-in after a short period. Also, in the midst of typing down my credentials, the window shows again if I try to exit the tab.

1. The ones that frequent the top list in Activity Monitor for CPU is kernel_task, WindowServer, and hidd.

2. In Dashboard, I haven't really played around with that so it's on tis stock settings. Only has Weather, Calculator, Calendar, and Clock.

Sorry for the late reply.

I did the router power cycle the second thing it happened, just to clear off any internet problems there might be but it didn't seem to fix it. Tried it again only to yield the same result. I also gave Safari Technology Preview like you suggested hoping it'll be different, but the result is also the same over there as well.

Like you, I'm actually unsure on what the cause of the problem is. At first I thought it'd be a problem caused by Safari, but then some other people might not experience the problem with their MacBook. But then it can't be Facebook's problem either since it applies only to Safari and not Firefox or Chrome. Hopefully there'll be a clear fix on the next update or something.

Same with me, karenfromgalesville. Firefox takes heavy battery compared to Safari and the trackpad functions just doesn't work well together. Really hope Apple got a fix or there's a solution out there.

First thing I tried when the issue surfaced. However no fix, no matter how much times I cleared them. I tried to put Safari to "stock" mode by clearing all history, cookies, Keychains, bookmarks, favourites, extensions etc. but still no change. I tried connecting to my Uni's internet to see if it might change anything, but the issue's still there regardless of which Wi-Fi I connect to. My guess is that it has something to do with Safari and Facebook itself, but not sure what.

I found the History and LastSession files from using the Services menu and promptly deleted all six files. I tried using the Services menu to find the Saved Application State files but even Services couldn't find it either. The Services approach only gave me a blank response with Finder; no open folder. Anyway, I deleted the files under the Safari folder, tried logging in again, but the pop-up still exists.

I just want to say thank you for persisting in finding a solution for this issue. It's really bizarre that it's happening out of nowhere and the source is really difficult to find.

I'm not sure what happened, but recently the pop-up doesn't show up when I try logging in. Everything's back to normal like last time. It's a good thing that it fixed itself, but still wonder what just happened.

Hi Eric,

I tried both of your suggestion however the issue still persists, even in Safe Mode and on another Administration account. 😟

Could it be a problem with Safari itself?

Tried the Combo Update with no luck.
