Hi, Ronni, Thank you so much. Removing the two plug-ins fixed the Safari problem. It was a bit odd about Firefox: I hardly ever use it and there was an even older version on my machine, so I had it check for an update and install it - that turned out to be version 12.0! It never occurred to me that 12.0 was an old version too. But all is remedied now.
