Hello KarlaBeee,


Thanks for the update. Let's try opening Safari while holding the shift key to see if it will open in the last good known state. If the same thing happens, create a new user account to test and see if the issue is there as well. This will let you know if the issue is within the whole system, or just your user account:

If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


Take care.
