    Links not working on Safari 5

    Following the system configuration of my computer.
    MacBook Pro (late 2008) 2.4Mgh
    8GB of ram
    500GB hard drive
    MAC OS X 10.7.2
    Safari 5.1.2
    As I click on any of the links the browser did not seems to respond at all. I tried with other browser and getting same problem as well. Could not get the reason why above mentioned issue is happening? Any help to fix the matter of mine will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

    You should close Safari if you are running.
    You have to move following file from Home folder to Desktop.
    Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    After that launch Safari and see whether it is working or not.

    Well I recommend following things which will be helpful to find out whether the issue is associated with user account or system wide.
    • You have to login as Guest on your computer.
    • You have to launch System Preference application. Now select Help from the menu bar and type Set up a guest account into Search box.
    • Once you have logged in as a Guest you will not be able to access any of personal files and settings as well.
    • Now you should launch the Safari and see whether the iss
    ue is persisting or not.

    I followed the instructions for login as guest account. I found Intego Virus Barrier and Internet Security Barrier X6 was causing the issue. I simply removed from the laptop of mine and after Safari started work flawlessly.

    I was facing the same problem and suspecting that entire issue is related with bug issue. but still I am able to open the link by right clicking on link and opening it into new tab.

    Try to boot your system into Safe mode and see whether it helps you out or not.
    1. Before you start you should see that Mac is shut down.
    2. Now press the Power button.
    3. As you listen the startup tone you have to hold the shift key.
    4. You should release the key once you have seen gray Apple icon and progress indicator on the screen.
    5. Once you have booted the laptop into Safe mode you have to run browser and see whether it is working or not.
