My Safari wont work. I searched but only found threads irrelevant to my issue.

Every time I try to start it this pops up

The Application Safari Quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.

click Relaunch to launch the app again. Click Report so see more details or send a report to apple.


So what I did was Click Relaunch. And it happened AGAIN! As you can only imagine being a mac user I am sweating buckets in this coffee shop sipping my Latté (I'm kidding). Luckily, In the past I downloaded Firefox. I don't like firefox for mac. Plain and simple. I need safari back. So I downloaded Safari after I uninstalled it and its still doing it.

I am using a plugin "glims". Could that cause it? I deleted ever glims thing that popped up during the search and it still does it. I am on the 3rd uninstall and Reinstall of the Latest verion of the mac Website and am still getting the error.

I need help. Any one have any suggestions?

Glims could cause it depending on what versions of everything you're running.
It has been updated though and is working fine on the latest versions of everything.

What Mac, what version of OS X and Safari?

You might try deleting the Safari preference files located at:

Users / your user / Library / Preferences

look for com.Apple.Safari.plist and rssplist I think they're called

move it to the desktop - log out and back in

You can to keep all the preferences you had in place or just start over with your new defaults.

Glims has that fixed now if you grab their latest version.
