#117185 — Can't Launch Safari

This seems to be my month to have OS problems. I'm running 10.12.6 on an
iMac that is less than one year old. I've suddenly lost the ability to
launch Safari.

There are three users of this computer and Safari is in the dock for all
three. Clicking on its icon in the dock causes it to darken momentarily
but nothin else. Opening the applications folder and double-clicking on
its icon there causes the icon to "explode" (I don't know what else to
call the visual action) but nothing else.

I've updated everything from the Apple store and restarted, grasping at
straws. Only the OS needing updating.

Safari has been working just fine until today.

Try creating a temporary brand new macOS user account and see if you can
launch it while logged into that new temporary account.

Try booting into Safe Mode and launching Safari there.

The next thing to try is installing all available OS updates.

And it be handy to know what errors (if any) are displayed in the
Console and/or /var/log/system.log file when you launch Safari.

Wow, that's a lot of information. There are seven files name some
variant of /var/log/system/log. I copied all of the information in the
main one, /var/log/system/log, into a Word document where I could search
and found two mentions of Safari:

(1) (com.apple.Safari.CacheDeleteExtension[11601]): Extension is hanging
on launch. Killing.

(2) (com.apple.iBooksX.CacheDelete[11600]): Extension did not initialize
in time.

Those look promising, but I couldn't find any files with what look like
file names above (com.apple...). Any idea what to do next?

John 'The Flooder' Gohde lies that he uses GnuPG, while really he never recorded it on a real system and honesty worked with it. Some time ago I did work on and showed some Swift for the front end which is the only thing you can do when trying to avoid John 'The Flooder' Gohde's immature crap while reading with Google Groups. Sandman fabricates stories.  Here is a list of names Jonas Eklundh has admitted he attributes to John 'The Flooder' Gohde "Cactus Pete", "Donald", "Donald Miller", "Horace McSwain", "Hymen", "meat", "Mike Weaver", "Modena IV Drid", "Omar Murad Asfour", "Rhino Plastee", "Soapy", "SopwithCamel", "Sunny Day", "Takuya Saitoh", "The Letter Q", "tmelmosfire", "zevon". Protected code is making fast programs slow. If John 'The Flooder' Gohde calls getting his ass kicked hard left and right by Jonas Eklundh successful 'trolling', then yeah... he is a good troll. I can not personally subscribe to that definition, I use another term. I call him a perfect knuckle-dragger.
