Forward from Godaddy. Issues on MACbook

Question

When I try to forward a page from go daddy to a different site, it works everywhere but safari.  When I try from safari, instead of HTML at the end of the link, it shortens it to HTM and then of course doesn't work.  Issue is on MAC.  iphone and iPad redirect perfectly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated?
Thanks

This is not a Mac problem. 
We use Windows and are having the same / similar problem(s) with godaddy email. We use the Thunderbird mail client and early October is when we first started noticing the problems (had been fine before that) .
SMTP outbound fails intermittently and error messaes indicate  the SMTP server cannot be found or similar message.  It has failed in the middle of an outgoing batch several times (when SMTP server has obviously been "found" - and sometimes it will complete the batch and leave one or two sitting in the outbound folder.  Changing port settings has no effect on this intermittent problem.
Godaddy says there is no problem and suggests we use Godaddy webmail instead of Thunderbird - which is not convenient since we simultaneously manage 10 or so mailboxes for different domains - and the Godaddy webmail interface has become very slow to load.  We do access webmail from android phones and, except for the slowness, the outbound from webmail does function. If we find a resolution we'll share here since this does not feel like an OS or ISP issue.
