Ok, so I've had this ongoing problem with Safari that I've been trying to figure out for awhile now and I'm at my wits end.
Here's the problem.
The majority of the time, whenever I click on any kind of a button to try to download a link Safari will just kinda hang for about two seconds, then try to download the file (usually accompanied by a little loading bar in the bottom right). Instead of then downloading the attached file Safari will briefly open up a blank page (in same window) and then promptly shoot me back to the original page where I had clicked the link. The file never downloads
This problem occurs on any page in which there is a "button" as the link for the download instead of the usual blue colored link.
Some example pages are www.handango.com, www.palmgear.com and any sites (can't think of any right now) that use this download style.
As you can probably tell I'm not a computer programmer so I may not be describing the issue very well. Sorry
Can anyone tell if I am doing something wrong??? Have a mistakenly turned on some strange hidden feature that simply needs to be turned off??? I have tried just about everything in the regular Safari and System prefs and am still having problems.
Thanks for any help you can offer. This will be much appreciated!!!!
