and it would open the website. Also, I could launch Parallels/Windows 10 and Edge or chrome and could also open

website from a bookmark. Note* Previously I could NOT open

Note this problem existed with an earlier version of safari when I was running Apple High Sierra OS/X.

My system is the new Apple iMac Pro...
