Hi,

My copy of Safari keeps resetting every time I close it. I lose bookmarks, history and extensions. This started in Leopard. It keeps giving me the copy I get after a fresh install of Safari, with the default bookmark tabs, every time i open it.

I deleted Safari using AppCleaner, then I reinstalled Safari after downloading it from Apple, both before and after the upgrade to Snow Leopard, all the way to 10.6.4. I have fixed and repaired permissions. Completely baffled. Only extension I use is clicktoFlash. Happens even if no extension installed. Examined plist file, keeps defaulting to the copy on first install.

I find Firefox too slow and Chrome still needs work. I loved Safari until this started happening. Just want it to keep my bookmarks and tabs after each open.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Safari Resets on each close

Hi

It reset itself again. I even tried without ANY extensions, i just reloaded my bookmarks. Lost them again. I even tried just putting a couple of bookmarks from surfing - no extensions). and I lost them.

This even happens in other user accounts. I have reinstalled Safari after removing it with app cleaner, and also performed the os x 10.5 to 10.6 upgrade.

thanks
