Safari won’t load on the G5; how can I get the bookmarks

bookmarksg5powerpcsafari

I have a Mac, a Power PC G5 desktop, running MAC OS X 10.5.8, the last release made for this machine. I've been having a lot of problems lately with Safari; when I launch it, I get a spinning disc, and then Safari becomes unresponsive. My only option is to Force Quit.

Ideally, I'd like to resolve whatever is causing the issue.

Failing that, I'd like to somehow get to all my bookmarks. I just don't know enough about the inner workings of the computer to find where those are stored and how to access them.

Best Answer

The bookmarks are stored in ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.html

Triaging the crashing app might be as simple as moving the entire preference folder and plist file to the desktop or might take more work.
