Safari stops working but works when I restart the computer

Safari keeps dropping out even when I'm on the web. It won't accept my password so I have to restart the computer.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Safari 8:


Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.


Safari prior to 8.
