Crashing Safari after Mojave update - Safari 13.0 instead of 13.0.1

Have you tried opening Safari with the shift key held down?

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?

Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart). Run Disk Utility and select First Aid. Then re-install the OS.

Reinstall from macOS Recovery

OS X Recovery

I'm having this issue too.

The Safari.app version in Finder shows 13.0.

I found a link on Apple Developers to download Safari 13.0.1, but installation can't be completed.

The installer screen for selecting an installation destination shows this message:

"Safari can't be installed on this disk. This volume already has a newer version of Safari installed."

I don't think you're alone. Earlier this week, Safari updated, then MacOS update last night (9/26/19). Safari will not open at all, crashes immediately despite repeated attempts. Using MacBook Air, 2013 model. While I'm running parallels and the "other OS", neither is running when I incur this issue. Hopefully and update is coming in the next few days. This issue is on the MacOS side, not runnng Safari anywhere else. Ran Apple Diagnostics, no issues.

I know, but Eric asked me if I tried. Kursei, did you install the 12.0.2 on Mohave or High Sierra? Did you have 13.0 or 13.0.1 already installed? Did it not complain at all about having a "newer version" already installed? I try to install 13.0.2 on my 13.0.1 version in Mohave and get the "newer version already installed" message.

Thanks,-

I have been experiencing this since upgrading to Mojave circa 8 weeks ago. Mac Air 2015.

Mojave 10.14.6 and Safari 13.0.2 and it still recurs

It appears to me to be some form of memory contention and/or issues with particular website parsing.

To its credit, the OS returns to the login screen, and restarts at (almost) the point it crashed.

Observations - on some sites, with several tabs already open, the safari application halts (whilst memory is filled?) then crashes the box. On other occasions with a modestly chunky document or two one in pages - say 25000 words in all, a 'look up' request in line from pages will show the same behaviour, ending in a system crash.

I'd move to Catalina, but there are backward compatibility issues that are unsurmountable at present.

Today I had time to dig more abut this.

I found a new Safari update in https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=Safari

Safari 13.0.2.

I was able to install it and finally Safari launched fine.

This is the crash report: https://pastebin.com/XhnWiFb1

Any progress on this issues so far?

There was a macos update, but Safari keeps crashing the same way.

Safari says it's 3.0.1. When I try to install the 3.0.2 from the developer site, it says I have a newer version already installed.

All of this since upgrading to Mohave 10.14.6

Have you tried installing Safari from the App Store or System Preferences to see if you get 13.0.2?
