@jerryedinger: It sounds like you've already got it installed but Safari didn't properly clear it out so it can't be reinstalling. If you're not able to remove it in Safari Preferences > Extensions or from
~/Library/Safari/Extensions/
, it may be necessary to reset Safari's extensions database:- Open a Finder window and use the keyboard shortcut
⇧⌘G
(Shift Command G) to open a Go to folder window. - Use the following location:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist
and click the Go button. - Drag the highlighted file to the Trash.
- Launch Keychain Access which you can find in
/Applications/Utilities/
or using a Spotlight search. - Search for
safari
and right-click on Safari Extensions List and select the Delete "Safari Extensions List" option. - In Finder go to the following folder (using the same method as detailed in step 1) to go to
~/Library/Safari/
- Drag the entire
Extensions
folder to the Trash - Then restart you Mac and Safari, which will recreate the folder and hopefully sort out any permissions issues as well
If you're still having trouble, this discussion in Apple's forums might help, or you may need to contact Apple directly for assistance.
