Why does clicking on the open-book icon on the bookmarks bar make Safari crash? Also, I am not able to delete any bookmarks. Everytime I try to, my browser crashes. Anyone have any suggestions?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
It sounds like you have at least one corrupted bookmark.
You can try going at it this way:
First, quit Safari.
Then Go to your HOME folder, open Library folder, then go down to the Safari folder.
Open that folder up, and take the Bookmarks plist to your desktop.
Then open up Safari again.
Try clicking on the book icon, or open up the bookmarks menu.
Does it still crash?
Thanks for responding. I did exactly as you said, and it still crashes. What's the next idea to try?
Just checking . . .
Did you restart Safari ?
No, I did not restart Safari before, so I tried it again, and it still crashed. Anymore suggestions or ideas?
So, you took the bookmarks file out of the SAfari folder, restarted Safari now.
So, are all of your bookmarks gone? And you still have problems access the open book icon?
And you can't make a new bookmark?
I took the bookmarks plist file out of the Safari folder and to the desktop. I restarted Safari. I then clicked on the open-book icon and Safari crashed same as before. It also crashed when I clicked "Show All Bookmarks" on the bookmarks menu, same as before. I then put the bookmarks plist back in the Safari folder and all the bookmarks reappeared. I can make new bookmarks. I just can't delete any.
Did you ever find a answer to this? I'm having the same problem om my 2010 MBP.

Start your own new topic, OK? This is a very old one. Also, copy and paste the Crash Report you get when Safari crashes. That should help considerably.
