Hi Jacob,

We use the below to allow plugins to run via Safari.. it's cleaner as no cfprefsd killing as the processes are aware of cpfrefsd

Might be something to try?

#!/usr/bin/python
import CoreFoundation 

ManagedPlugInPolicies = {

# Always Allow Sharepoint plugin
    "com.microsoft.sharepoint.browserplugin": { 
        "PlugInFirstVisitPolicy": "PlugInPolicyAllowNoSecurityRestrictions", 
    }, 

# Always Allow Citrix plugin
    "com.citrix.citrixicaclientplugIn": { 
        "PlugInFirstVisitPolicy": "PlugInPolicyAllowNoSecurityRestrictions", 
    }, 

} 

CoreFoundation.CFPreferencesSetAppValue("ManagedPlugInPolicies", ManagedPlugInPolicies,  "com.apple.Safari") 
CoreFoundation.CFPreferencesAppSynchronize("com.apple.Safari")
