Safari crashes within seconds, any advice?

[shr631]

Safari app crashes as soon as I tap into the address/search bar. I can go to bookmarked or historically viewed pages, but cannot even activate the address/search bar. Help?!

Fyi, this is for a new iPhone 6, 16GB Verizon. Restored from iCloud backup yesterday.

Ok, this was a silly question. I fixed the issue but I'm not sure how to delete the post.

Since its already up, if anyone else has this problem, here's the solution: go to Settings> Safari, scroll down and tap "Clear History and Website Data.". Then, power off/on the iPhone and you should be ok.

I've had similar issues on my iPhone 5 even erasing starting as a new phone. Think it's just iOS 8 bugs.

This issue is happening again:

Solution is to turn off Safari Suggestions in Settings -> Safari in iOS
or in Safari Preferences in OS X.
