Apple Support has an article online (link below) that may be helpful:

See: If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support


Else: If you still need help:

Check your MacOS version is the newest available version:

Eg: What's new in the updates for macOS Sequoia - Apple Support says MacOS 15.0.1 is the latest.


If you have any unnecessary third party (non-Apple) apps like ad-blockers, virus-checkers, cleaners, and the like, try turning them off (or use their uninstallers from their developers / manufacturers)


For any necessary third-party apps, check they are updated to the newest compatible app.

(ie: Only Apple apps are updated automatically when you update, or upgrade, MacOS)

Thank-you but that is not what is happening. I have 15.0.1 and since I downloaded it my computer decides to switch itself off randomly. Even worse when I try to reboot it switches off before I have even put the password in. This happened a few years ago after a new version of Safari and eventually without admitting error, Apple produced a download that cured the problem. The same will eventually happen with this one.

Dont suggest I ring Apple support please. I did that before and some overhelpful chap in the Philippines made a complete mess of my Mac [and probably contributed to its early total failure and need for a new one]
