Q: After downloading update for Yosemite 10.10.5, I got an annoying popup with a blaring beeping sound that said Safari had crashed. I forced quit Safari, restarted and popup came back once more. Restarted again and popup went away. What was that?

    Open Safari while holding the shift key down

    Try to reset Safari settings:

    1.Open Safari

    2. Click on Safari menu at the top(to the right from the Apple logo)

    3. Select preferences/privacy tab

    4. Click on Remove all website data

    5. Close Safari.

    Delete Safari cache files:

    1. Click on finder

    2. Look for GO menu at the top

    3. click on GO and hold down the option key. This will show user library folder.

    4. Click on Library and look for Caches folder

    5. In caches folder open com.apple.Safari folder

    6. Move to trash Cache.db file.

    This should solve the issue. If it will not help try to turn off Safari extentions

    1.Open Safari

    2. Click on Safari menu at the top(to the right from the Apple logo)

    3. Select preferences

    4. Find extentions tab

    5. Turn off all the extentions

    6. Relauch Safari

    LucoBrasi, thank you. I have had no extensions in extensions tab. I have noticed lately that in preferences, when I click  remove website data "details", I seem to be getting more cookies and caches then previously. Also, I have to click to remove several times before they all go away.
