Weird behavior of Safari Dock icon

For several months now, I noticed a weird behavior of the Safari icon on the dock.

Note: I have the Safari Dock permanently icon in the dock if the application is running or not for quick access.

With open Safari, after periods of inactivity or after the awakening of the mode standby, the icon will lose the small black dot on the bottom that indicates an active application.

By clicking on the icon or a .webloc file reveals that Safari is still active, but because the icon does not animate as it does when it is launched.

How can I fix and when Safari * is * open its Dock icon indicates that it * all the time *?

Probably also related...

All too often, after similar as scenarios above, Safari actually leave - all on its own.

How can I fix this too?

Safari has also been freezing quite often lately have to be re-launched or sometimes requiring a restart of the computer system.

Something is not.

Go step by step and test.

1. Disable Extensions and test them.

Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Uncheck 'Enable the Extension' and test.

Enable the Extensions one by one and test.

To uninstall any extension, select it and click the "Uninstall" button

2. Quit Safari if it is open.

Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select 'Library', then 'Caches.

Find the folder "com.apple.Safari".

Right-click on "com.apple.Safari" and select "move to trash".

Restart Safari.

3 remove the test and com.apple.Safari.plist file.

Empty the trash.

Quit all applications.

Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select 'Library' in the menu dropdown.

Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist

Right-click on it and select "place it in the trash.

Close the Finder window.

Turn it back on.    Restart Safari.

If this does not help, "put back" the com.apple.Safari.plist

Right click on the trash icon in the Dock, then select 'open '.

Right-click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select 'Put Back'.

  • Any way to keep Dock icons to jump?

    I have sensory processing problems. Animation hurts. I know that the jump is supposed to indicate alerts, but the alerts were never important, let alone sufficiently important to justify the migraine pain and potential. Is it possible to stop the cursed jump?

    (and the cursed cursor flashing in applications that use the Apple text tools and pain in applications that use Apple leaves, etc.).

    Marja,

    You've been given the steps in 2014. to restrict the cursor blink in the selected applications. Is it now does not work in El Capitan for you, or he was confined to the scope of application?

    The following can disable Dock icons which rebounds in El Capitan, or it may not. It is a Terminal solution. Only copy and paste commands of blue text and follow each line with a return.

    # Disable Dock icons which rebounds (except Launchpad) for this account

    $ default write com.apple.dock non-rebond - bool True

    $ killall Dock

    # activate Dock icons which rebounds for this account

    $ default write com.apple.dock non-rebond - bool False

    $ killall Dock

  • Weird behavior of Firefox in Facebook when scrolling down

    Hello

    My Firefox has a weird behavior when I open Facebook and start to scroll, I have attached two images, first image is when I open facebook, everything is ok (I dimmed the contacts), second image is when I start scrolling down, you will see square masive black with blue navigation. That happens only when firefox is "enlarged" and not with windows. I also try to disable all addons or run firefox in safe mode I have also reinstalled it and the problem is still there. Have any suggestions, which could be bad, also if forgot to tell you that any information not hesitate to ask and I will it provide.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Dock icons have been removed, but appear in the Applications folder

    Hi, I ve had some problems with the dock icons. Since yesterday I can't see native IOS icons like finder, mail or launchpad. However, I checked my app folder and here they are with the same problem. No native applications as google chrome has had the same problem, but once I have check the option 'get info' allowing the application I have fixed the copy of the problem and paste the icon. When I try with native applications, I could not. I don't know if it's a virus or what, but my macBook takes longer to rise. You have the same problem? You have to be able to help me?

    In assuming that you already restarted your Mac, try the secure boot mode.

    Stop your Mac. Use the power button if you wish. Now start with the SHIFT key is pressed. This will start in Safe Mode, with all extensions turned off. Safe mode is slow to start, so give it time, it checks a lot of staff. If it works fine in Safe Mode, restart normally. If it works now, you are finished.

    If the problem comes back after a reboot, you have an extension conflict. Disable all extensions via system preferences. To isolate which extension is at fault, turn on an extension at the same time, restart in the meantime, until you find the bad Apple.

  • How to put an application on the dock icon without the arrow shortcut showing at 07:00

    None of my icons for other applications in the dock has this small arrow on its icon.

  • Failure of Options when you click the Dock icon to include 'Desktop in the display (number).

    Failure of Options when you click the Dock icon to include 'Desktop in the display (number).

    I use an iMac 24 "mid-2007. The help documentation tells me how to assign an application to a space is to use this Option. But it does not, while the other three are. Is this an error or something that can be explained? Could there be a work around? My OS is El Capitan.

    Hi peterwhi,

    I understand you are trying to set an application to open its windows on a particular space. To do this, move to the space that you want to use for the desired application, and then choose 'The Office' in the list of options you mentioned see (under Options).

    OS X El Capitan: working in multiple spaces
    https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH21872

    The option that you describe as missing is displayed only if you have connected an additional external display to your iMac and would set the app to open on the iMac screen or the external display.

    Office on the screen [number]: the application opens in the current space on a specific screen (if more than one display is available).

    Sincerely

  • Weird behavior with Signal to simulate and loops

    I'm having a weird behavior with Signal to simulate and while loops. Attached a photo of my program. The problem I have is that when I use Stop to stop inside while loop, then use to restart the inner loop, simulate Signal instantly generates a bunch of points of data between when I pressed Stop and Go. By example, if I stop for 5 seconds, wait 5 seconds, then press Go, it will instantly generate data for t = 5 t = 10. What I need is for the generation of signals to stop when I press stop and continue where it left off when I press Go. How can I accomplish this? I have no idea why he exhibits the behavior described in the first place.

    Hi optometry.

    Can you give us a screenshot of the configuration window for the VI express to simulate signal? I was able to reproduce the problem when I used "Simulate the time of acquisition" at times, but the VI's are featured as you described you wanted when I used "run as fast as possible." Have you tried this setting?

  • Weird behavior of the wifi service

    My project showed very weird behavior. As in the connection of signals and slots he was segfaults. I posted that in here . Also, I couldn't create a QTimer object. This all happened after I have use some features of the wifi_service.h file. My CPP code file is subsequently

    /*
     * WifiController.cpp
     *
     *  Created on: Jul 4, 2013
     *      Author: Roland
     */
    
    #include "WifiController.hpp"
    #include 
    #include "GeoNotification.hpp"
    WifiController::WifiController() {}
    WifiController::~WifiController() {}
    
    int WifiController::toggleWifiState(bool state)
    {
        getWifiState();
        int status = wifi_set_sta_power(state);
        return status;
    
    }
    int WifiController::getWifiState()
    {
        wifi_status_t *status;
        wifi_get_status(status);
        if(*status == WIFI_STATUS_BUSY)
        {
            return 2;
        }
        if(*status == WIFI_STATUS_RADIO_ON)
        {
            return 1;
        }
        if(*status == WIFI_STATUS_RADIO_OFF)
        {
            return 0;
        }
    
        return 0;
    }
    

    The strangeness begins after I call the getWifiState() function. It fills the fi last statement and returns 0. But after these problems occur. But if I don't call this function then, everything works fine.

    This will produce undefined behavior:

    wifi_status_t *status; // unitialized address
    wifi_get_status(status); // wifi_get_status will write into random memory
    

    wifi_get_status waiting for an address of the variable to write to:

    wifi_status_t status;
    wifi_get_status(&status); // & takes the address of status
    

    You will also need to check the return value of wifi_get_status. An example of code:
