Try to reinstall Safari.

  1. Uninstall by...

    • ...dragging /Applications/Safari.app to the trash.
    • ...using a free cleaning tool. This tool will also remove preferences files in the library. Therefore bookmarks and extensions will be removed aswell.
  2. Download Safari from the apple website and reinstall it.
