Safari voids address bar and does nothing

Whenever I open a new tab, the first time I type an address and press enter, the address bar is voided and nothing happens. If I type again the website address and press enter, then it opens that website.


I've tried everything to fix that. Emptied cache. Deleted browser history. Uninstalled all extensions. Always the same issue.


I'm using Mac OS 10.15.5 and Safari Version 13.1.1 (15609.2.9.1.2).

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
