Extensions disappear from Safari

My extensions disappear from Safari. Initially I got a message which I think said something about migrating my preferences and I had the reenable my extensions overtime I opened Safari. I think it started happening when I upgraded to Safari 7.1 but not sure, it's just a recent thing though. I couldn't uninstall my extensions so I removed them from my plist file. I then removed my plist file but restarting Safari doesn't rebuild a new one. Now when I install extensions they appear but when I quit Safari they are gone. I've now upgraded to Yosemite/Safari 8.0 but still the same issue. Attached is what my plist file looks like. Any help appreciated.

Hi ...
Might be a corrupted preference file.
Open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/Extensions/Extensions.plist
Clicl Go then move the Extensions.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

My TrafficLight extension disappeared from Safari and will not reinstall. How can I fix this?

My TrafficLight extension disappeared from Safari and will not reinstall, either through Safari or as a standalone download. How can I fix this?

Are you sure you downloaded this extension from Apple ?
https://extensions.apple.com/
Where is it?
Check ~/Library/Safari/Extensions
I did a Google search for source links for the extension but can't find the one for Apple here.
Maybe you downloaded a trial version and it expired? http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/extensions.html
Just my 2 cents, but this extension is likely to cause you more problems with Safari then it's worth. If you are concerned about security on the net read > Thomas' Corner : Mac Virus Guide

In iPad settings, under safari, the category "database" sometimes disappears then comes back, should that happen?

HT203353 Safari extensions disappear when I quit the program?

Why do Safari extensions disappear when I quit the program? They are all from the Apple extensions pages. I started manually adding extensions because the Add This bar disappeared when I clicked the extensions off button and I couldn't find it to get it back. I liked Add This because it added an extra bar below the url box with the extensions in color. I tried to add the Pocket extension to Add This with a supposed installer from the web site but it disappeared when I clicked on it and didn't add it. Now when I add extensions from the Apple Safari extensions pages there are just little grey images on buttons beside the url box. I quit Safari at night and the next morning when I start the program the extensions are gone. They were all enabled which appears to be the default. Also want to know if Add This is no longer supported.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari.

Safari and camera disappeared from my screen

Safari and camera has disappeared from my screen. It's the 2:nd time it happens. Got my iphone, brand new, last week. First time it happened, I reset everything. Now it feels like this could be a reoccurring thing, and not fun to reset every time. I've looked in folders and I've tried spotlight. Nothing.
Appreciate any help.

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

All of my safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I did not delete or move them

My safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I have not deleted or moved them. Any ideas on how I can recover them?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "Awesome Screenshot" then remove it. No my Internet is not working, my Safari simply hangs

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "awesome Screenshot" couple of days ago and then decided to remove it from the system . Since then the awesome icon does not appear But my Safari is suffering as it is not loading the pages.Please help

Try removing any other extensions and plugins and if that works introduce them one at a time, you may find it is one of those causing the problem.
If that does not work create a new post, this one being closed will gather less interest and someone who as an answer could miss it.

Can't DownloadFirefox for Mac. download disappears from download window in safari. pop up windows are not blocked.

I have watched firefox download. Once it is complete it disappears from the download window in Safari.
My pop up blocker is shut off.
I can download when I am in Administrator mode but not under individual username account.

You should be able to check in Safari to find where downloads are going, in Preferences > General. You can also change the download directory for Safari. If you cannot get Safari to work on that computer, maybe download Firefox on some other computer and transfer the file on a flash stick or CD.
