I do use Safari as my browser, but when I switch to Firefox the result is exactly the same. The most confusing thing is that I have no trouble at all on my MacBookPro which is configured the same way my iMac is since I migrated my MacBookPro to the iMac. One other thing is that I have no trouble at all on the iMac if I run Sage in the terminal; the JMol window opens fine and the graphics is as expected and can be manipulated with the mouse. Still looking for ideas.
