asked on Safari browsing problem in Macbook Pro
Hi Guys,
I have MacBook Pro
OSX
Version 10.8.5
Safari version 6.23
When i use safari it hangs, there are pop ups. I am unable to reset safari. when i go Safari>reset safari..(select all) >reset.. i can confirm it has not worked because i can still see browsing history.
I also have firefox installed which works perfectly fine.
what would be best way to fix it? should i reinstall safari... if so how i can do it? and if it malware related how can i remove it?

Another way to start Safari from scratch, since you're resetting all your preferences anyway, is to remove your ~/Library/Safari/ Folder
Alternatively, open Terminal.app and delete it with the following command
Open your Home folder. (It should be your account name)
Open Library
Move Safari to the trash
Alternatively, open Terminal.app and delete it with the following command
rm -rf ~/Library/Safari/
