I just found an older post, which shows the same problem:

> [@Odd behaviour or error with Safari 27 on Mac](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/odd-behaviour-or-error-with-safari-27-on-mac/101788):

> My Mac updated to Safari 27 today and now I get an annoying behaviour. When I first open the NodeRED editor in a fresh Safari I can't navigate away from the first tab. Whenever I click another tab it displays the new tab and then an error causes Safari to reload the page which takes me back to the first tab again. It isn't catastrophic because oddly if I manually reload the webpage the problem goes away. After messing around with the dev console settings I managed to catch the error that seems …

There it is proposed to do one manual reload of the first page (the initial flow Node-RED shows). I did this. And now I'm able to switch between flows without any problem. So it works no in Safari too (once the initial page is reloaded one time).

For me, the topic is solved. I can either use Firefox, or use Safari and refresh the first page once.

Kind regards,

Urs.
