Safari quits by itself, no crash reports show up. How do I make it STOP closing/quitting itself?

Whenever I uses terminal, for git, maven or other stuff Safari seems to have quit itself entirely! This happens only with terminal is open. I don't get any crash reports or notices about what might have occured, nor any error messages. It is very random.


Usually it happens in this way.

1. It closes itself without asking nothing

2. Then I open it again and there are all the tabs that were opened before crushing

3. Then after 2-3 seconds it closes itself again and now when I open Safari again it starts only one tab with my home page.


What's the problem, this is very annoying.


Anyone can help me? Thank you so much!

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.
