[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1642693, member: 101749"] That String being red, shows that it isn't responding. What you need to do, is open Activity Monitor, look for that ('Safari Web Content'). Click on that red String, then hit the 'x' in the top left, which brings up a Drop Down menu, and then Force Quit it. This, use to happen quite a bit, Mountain Lion and older, and it was Safari leaking Memory. Once thats done, I would then open Disk Utility, Repair Permissions, and restart your Mac, and that [I]should[/I] clear up that issue. If not, pop back here and give us some more details, such as what OS you are running an if you're up to date with updates, is a good start. [/QUOTE]
