How bizarre. I got different, but related symptoms, running the same release. I dragged the URL to the Desktop. When I clicked on the URL to drag it to a folder, Finder crashed, bam, right off the bat. This happened twice. The third time, it let me drag it to a folder. I opened up that folder, and had no problems launching the URL from there, with Safari either active or quit. > On Nov 12, 2018, at 12:09 PM, Dinse, Gregg (NIH/NIEHS) [C] <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am running MacOSX 10.12.6 and using Safari (12.0.1) as my main web browser.

In some cases, I later drag the URL icon from the desktop to a folder in the Finder. Until recently, I could double-click on the URL, either in the Finder or on the desktop, and the appropriate web page would open. Lately, this works fine from the desktop, but not from the Finder -- the Finder window disappears as if the Finder crashed as soon as I single-click on the URL. The Finder window then opens again, but not the web page. This started a month or two ago and happens consistently, on four different Macs. > > Is this a well-known problem?
