    1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions

     

        Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.

        Turn on those one by one and test.

     

    2. Delete com.apple.Safari.plist file and test.

     

     

        Empty the Trash.

        Quit all applications.

        Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

     

        Select "Library" from the drop down.

     

        Library > Preferences >  com.apple.Safari.plist

        Right click on it and select "Move it to Trash".

        Restart.    Relaunch Safari.

     

       If this doesn’t help, “Put Back” the com.apple.Safari.plist

     

        Right click on  the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”.

        Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.

     

    3. Run  EtreCheck and post the report here.
