Mary, I had to get rid of the Click to Flash extension. I had a devil of a time doing it too. As a matter of fact, I really don't know how I finally managed it, but as soon as I was able to get the preferences pane up for Safari, I went in and uninstalled Click to Flash.
It drove me batty yesterday while I was trying to figure out how to get rid of it though. I think the Click to Flash dialog was hiding on me, and was still open, and that's why my menu options were grayed. I think what I managed to do was bring up all open windows and close the Click to Flash window. Once this was accomplished, the choices were no longer grayed, and I got rid of Click to Flash. I don't want it if it is going to render Safari and Webkit unusable.
