I just made a new account on my Mac. Safari is working just fine on my other account. If I try to open Safari from the dock no window shows up but Safari isn’t responding. If I open Safari from Applications a window opens up but it also won’t respond. Please help. I have an iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) but there’s no option for that.
