Can you add output of wireshark -v or Help->About Wireshark:Wireshark to the question.

From the WSUG B.3. Configuration Files:

At program start, if there is a hosts file in the global configuration folder, it is read first. Then, if there is a hosts file in the personal configuration folder, that is read; if there is an entry for a given IP address in both files, the setting in the personal hosts file overrides the entry in the global hosts file.
Might be better to put hosts in your personal config folder in case something on the Mac is cleaning up the app directory.
