MacOS – Safari crashes after Yosemite Upgrade

crashmacbook promacossafariupgrade

My sister upgraded her 2011 MacBook Pro 15" to Yosemite from Mavericks. As far as I have been able to glean the upgrade went without a hitch, but now her computer is mostly unusable. It is very slow, to navigate about the finder, slow to open programs, and largely unhappy. She has over 100GB of free disk space and has 4 GB of RAM. Any ideas about what went sideways?

The safari crashdump is too long to post here, so I have posted it on Dropbox:

The solution we came up with... the only one that worked, was to reinstall Yosemite. It seemed at the time that something went sideways with the original upgrade. Unfortunately I do not have all the details with me here.
