Safari Crashes on Opening after Lion upgrade!

Post a crash report so we can try and help you.

If Safari has just crashed, press the Report buton on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.

Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Default browser settings won't cause Safari to crash.

Same problem here. Chrome is default pre-update to Lion. However, no Report button is displayed upon Safari crash. Please advise.

I descovered that LastPass is crashing Safari 5.1. It comes with Lion but it will also crash if you upgrade it Safari on SL as I did. I had to remove the SIMBL folder from the 'Internet Plug-Ins' folder to get Safari not to crash.

After a restart, Safari stopped crashing.

I'm experiencing the same issue, except Chrome was never my default browser.

I've tried multiple restarts, as well as a reinstall of Lion. Nothing resolved the issue.
In a bit of cruel irony, Chrome just crashed on me as I was typing out this reply. Very odd indeed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i had the same problem upgrading from SL to Lion. I through it could be something wrong with the upgrade, so I decided to use TM to load back to SL and did the upgrade again. but also result in the same Safari crash immediately after the icon was clicked😠

I've actually just found a solution.

As it turns out, LastPass was causing my crashes, too.
I had to find my SIMBL folder (~Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/LastPass.bundle) and remove the LastPass plugin.
After that, all was well. Not sure if I need to reinstall LastPass now or just pay for (what I've heard is the far superior) 1Password.

Was having the same issue when launching safari on the other user's account. This fixed it thanks!

was having the same problem, this fixed it, thanks!

I'm using SL and found the perfect solution. 1) Follow oh_okay 's instructions, 2) download and reinstall Lastpass, 3) Restart Safari 5.1 and all should work fine. With this lastest update to Safari Lastpass functions a bit differently, having it's own tool bar with the option to hide. You have to click on the grey star, which stays grey, when logged in. There may be a tweek for that, which I haven't gotten to yet.

Thanks!

It could possibly be another SIMBL plugin. I only have one other plugin in that chain, and it was not a problem. I'm not the expert, however, in the past issues typically have led to add-on to Safari. Most techs have suggested removing add-ons one-by-one to isolate the culprit. My suggestion would be to follow standard tech advice. Of course, an extreme yet quick method would be to remove all add-ons and start fresh. If the problem still remains, I'd contact Apple support.

Hope this helps to resolve your problem with Safari 5.1.

one of the problem is that: if you can't launch Safari and can't see where are the extensions' location. it could possibly happen that the plugin is somewhere outside the standard plugin location like the one in this case (~Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/LastPass.bundle)

What I've discovered in SL with this Safari upgrade is that when I reinstalled Lastpass it was installed as an extension, rather than a plugin, as it was before. So, I looked in the SIMBL plugin folder and only found one plugin. I did find a collection of extensions in the User Library/Safari/Extensions folder. My not being the technician, I can only presume that Apple has changed how it installs Safari 3rd-party plugins, instaling as extensions now, rather than plugins. Who knows, possibly that helps to make the 3rd-party plugin/extension more compatible????
