Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Uninstall it
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from in the menu bar.
Hi thanks for replying but if you read my post! you will see that I have all ready tried this,safari will still not launch so can not go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Extensions
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Launch the application and test. If there's no change, put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
@Linc thank you so much!
