Safari + Facebook = complete Mac lockup

This started with the Safari version in 10.11.4 (Version 9.1 (11601.5.17.1))

After a couple seconds on Facebook, Safari and my entire Mac locks up solid except for the cursor. Option-Command Esc will not bring up the Force Quit pane leaving me the only option to reboot using the power button.

Here is what Crash Reporter logs:

2016-05-03 5:47:47.010 PM Safari[671]: ERROR: History: Failed to insert item into the history_items table: UNIQUE constraint failed: history_items.url (19)

Any idea?

Thanks

From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Clear History and Website Data

Quit then relaunch Safari, try Facebook.

If that didn't help, you may have a Safari extension or third party plug-in installed that's causing a conflict.

From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Uninstall one extension at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.

Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Same here: Macbook Pro 13 Early 2015 - El Capitan 10.11.4.

I already reinstalled OS, Reset Safari and cache. Fixed all the fonts. No solution.

Look the rendering of Facebook, see the right column? After few second goes in the right position and crashes.

I just checked my Facebook page and that is not happening on Safari 9.1 / El Capitan v10.11.4.

Try this..

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data.

Quit then relaunch Safari and try Facebook.

I've disabled the AdBlock extension as the other one 1Password has never caused probs. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks, Carolyn.
