Safari 10 crashes

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…. 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. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.

Safari Corruption See post by Linc Davis

I have the same problem too e.g. when I open google maps or youtube.

Before the update Safari worked fine.

I´ve removed all extensions and even Adobe´s Flash Player, but the issue persists.

OSX 10.11.6

Same problem. Having Google Maps open increases the likelihood. One time, every time I closed the Google Maps tab, Safari crashed. I'd re-launch Safari, same tabs would appear and when I closed Google Maps, Safari crashed again. Did this every time. I wound up rebooting to get this to stop.

It was stable before upgrading to v10, and unstable since.

It crashed just now. I had open Facebook on one tab, and it crashed when I opened a 2nd tab and went to the Apple site, and clicked on Watch.

I did all of these deletions and the instability persists. Any other suggestions?

Had the same problem with Safari quits unexpectedly - Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) and Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000 and Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Safari Version 10.0 (12602.1.50.0.10)

The only suggestion I could add to the excellent procedures outlined above, is to FIRST START by disabling all the Safari Extensions (as outlined in Eric Root's final paragraph), using Safari Preferences -> Extensions and un-select all extensions. I hope you'll have time to do this before Safari quits unexpectedly. Quit safari and then relaunch Safari to see if Safari stays up and stable. If it does, then the problem is one of your extensions (extensions, or their associated files, can become corrupt or out of date). Then, if Safari is stable, just as Eric suggests, one by one turn one extension back on, quit and restart Safari, and repeat this procedure until you find the offending extension (e.g. Safari starts crashing again). If a Safari extension is the reason for your Safari stability problem, the other procedures that Eric outlines first are a bit "user cruel" to start with. You won't realize how much you'll miss the information and Safari "pleasantries" that the Safari files in Eric's first paragraph provides until they're gone!

Another minor correction.... The path to the com.apple.Safari/Cache.db file DOES NOT contain a period (as shown in the posting above); Thus the correct path to Cache.db would be (from within your home directory)

Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

Eric provides so much good information that, 9 out of 10, it will get your Safari working again! If it doesn't then there's still conflicts somewhere. Look at those Crash Logs and try and find the offender. If you find out what your problem was, then please come back and tell us what you found. Many thanks!

Thank you for catching that. You are correct.
