Safari no longer opens as default browser

I have a MacBook Pro with Safari set as my default browser. After updating the operating system to the latest version (Catalina 10.15.7.), Safari no longer launches, when the computer is turned on. Any thoughts on why and what I can do to fix it?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hello, Granaina.


It sounds like you want Safari to launch when you login to your user account.

If that is the case, then control-click the Safari icon in the dock and select Options >Open at Login.


I'm not sure why that would have changed after updating your OS, but if that's all that has happened, you're blessed. 🙂
