    1.Open Safari

    2. Click on Safari menu at the top(to the right from the Apple logo)

    3. Select preferences/privacy tab

    4. Click on Remove all website data

    5. Close Safari.

    Delete Safari cache files:

    1. Click on finder

    2. Look for GO menu at the top

    3. click on GO and hold down the option key. This will show user library folder.

    4. Click on Library and look for Caches folder

    5. In caches folder open com.apple.Safari folder

    6. Move to trash Cache.db file.

    This should solve the issue. If it will not help try to turn off Safari extentions

    1.Open Safari

    2. Click on Safari menu at the top(to the right from the Apple logo)

    3. Select preferences

    Are you using command-tab to get to Safari? If so, Safari is still running and has not been closed. Using command-tab brings Safari to the front but does not force Safari to open any window.

     

    Are you clicking on the dock to open Safari? More than likely Safari is still running. Clicking on the dock brings Safari to the front but does not force Safari to open any window.

     

    How are you closing Safari? Are you clicking the red dot in the corner of the window. That does not close Safari. It merely closes the window.

     

    The only ways to close Safari are

    1. Go to the menu bar, click Safari, select 'Quit Safari'.
    2. While in Safari use the key combination command-Q
    3. Kill the Safari task in the Activity Monitor.

    I think I finally figured it out.  Go to set preferences and click on iCloud.  Then click on options next to iCloud and remove safari from the list.  It worked for me.  Why would you back up safari on to iCloud anyway?  For bookmarks?
