Try resetting Safari. From the Safari menu select "reset Safari". Go through the selections to be reset and choose those you wish to reset - such as Top Sites, History, Cache, etc.

Let's start simple. You have Glims installed so get rid of that. Uninstall it properly though using the uninstaller here. Is it still crashing after doing that?
