You Don't need to reinstall it..

Resetting Safari should help you:

1.Launch Safari Web Browser > Go to Safari on the top menu > Clear History and Website Data.

2.It will ask you to remove all history and cookies > Select All history and click Clear History.

3. Go back to Safari menu > Click on Preferences.

4.Select Privacy category > Click Remove All Website Data.

5.Go back to top menu > Select Develop > Click on Empty Caches

And Done!

And if it doesn't works for you, You can check this link: Get the latest version of Safari for your Mac - Apple Support

Why can't you see the passwords?


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.
