Safari 15 problem

Since updating to Safari 15 when I click on a link on a webpage a new tab is opened, the web address shows briefly but it opens my homepage.

I've checked the settings for Safari against my iMac which hasn't updated yet and they are all the same.

I am using a MacBook Air.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

There have recently been many reports of a broad range of new problems on this support site about the latest release of Safari v15. It is included in the downloads for Big Sur and Catalina. If you are experiencing these problems, you can use another browser such as Firefox or Chrome and they will work for you until a newer version of Safari is released.


I have read here that Apple's support people have a link to reinstall Safari and that doing so often fixes the problem. You might check with them.
