Safari extensions stopped working after an update
Safari extensions turn off automatically after an update for security. Go to Safari Settings → Extensions and turn them back on. If they're not there, they need to be reinstalled from the App Store.
When Safari gets a big update, it turns off older extensions to make sure they're still safe to use. Your extensions are still on your Mac — they just need to be turned back on. Most of the time, going to Safari Settings and enabling them again is all it takes. If they're completely gone, you'll need to reinstall them from the Mac App Store.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Thinking you need to reinstall an extension when it's just switched off — check Settings first before going to the App Store
- Not granting permission to the extension — Safari won't let it run on websites until you say it's okay
- Reinstalling an old extension instead of searching for an updated version — always check if there's a newer one available
Signs you need professional help
- You've turned the extension on and it still doesn't work
- Safari shows an error message about the extension you can't understand
- The extension worked before and disappeared completely — you can't find it in the App Store anymore
