Safari Shuts down unexpectedly

Safari has decided to shutdown every time I try to type something in the address bar. I can get to websites by searching in the google bar or clicking on my bookmarks, but I cannot type an address directly into the address bar.

This has happened since I downloaded a trial version of adobe photoshop. Before that it was all OK. After downloading I could not open safari at all. Then I shut down the computer and restarted. No I can at least get to websites in the two ways I mentioned but the address bar still does not work properly.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's really annoying.

Thanks,
Sky.

Close Safari
Move com.apple.Safari.plist to the Desktop
Find it here
HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences
Open Safari
Test

No guarantees, but it won't hurt to try.
