Unable to open any web links.

Question

whenever I click on link, it opens a new tab but then it throws up the error saying the safari is not able to connect to the server. But, if I logoff from my account and login back thru guest account, I am able to open the same link. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Answer 1

I moved all of them from the plugins folder to the desktop and did a reset of Safari.
You do need to move them with safari quit, or at least quit/restart after moving them.
all the items in Accounts - Login Items are unchecked
the check mark controls whether or not they're hidden - they still run, checked or not.

To make items open automatically when you log in:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accounts, select your account, and then click Login Items.
Open Accounts preferences
Click the Add ( + ) button to the right of the account list.

If you want the window for an item to remain closed, click the Hide checkbox next to it.
