Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
Relaunch Safari then try open Safari / Preferences.

I type in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist and got The folder "com,apple.Safari.plist" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see it's contents. I am the administrator but i must also say that my computer skill level is more like press enter and see what happens.

The other notations I'm not certain about so I'm going to try and get you more help.
