Your aid: Safari keeps crashing

Hi everyone,

First time poster here. My Safari continues to crash every time I try to open it. All my software is up to date, and this began after opening a bookmarked tab this evening. Here is the error message I keep receiving:

Try holding the shift key when launching Safari and see if that helps. That will stop if from trying to reload the last page you were on.

If that does not work, go into System Preferences and in the Users & Groups pane make a new temp. user account and try Safari from there. If it works in that account, that tells us there is something up with your existing account causing this.
