      Hi @Joshua_Humphrey

      I'm sorry you are experiencing this issue.

      As a troubleshooting step can I get you to quit SoundFlow from the SoundFlow menu and reopen SoundFlow from your Applications folder? If the issue persists please let me know.

      Thanks in advance. :-)

      1. In reply toJoshua_Humphrey:

        I think this might happen because Safari is located in a special path (which changed in recent macOS versions, btw). Did you manually type in the path in your macro or did you pick Safari from the list?

        Another way of doing this, if Safari is your default browser, would be to use the "Open File/Url" action and give it a URL to open. This would automatically launch your default browser, without having to specify the correct path to where Safari is installed.
