I am running Safari 12.0.3 on a MacBook Pro and cannot force Safari to close. Even a hard re-boot just re-starts the computer with Safari up and running. This is not a big deal but it would be nice to close this browser down. Any ideas? Many thanks..

Thank you, that solved the problem!
Thank you! Safari was able to be closed down when operating in safe mode but came straight back up when I reverted to normal operating mode. It turned out to be malware, now resolved. Thanks again!
Safari will not quit
