You might try trashing your Safari preferences .plist file(s), as that 
seems to be where your problem lies.

So, quit Safari, then go to Users(you)->Library->Preferences, locate 
(com.apple.Safari.plist) and move it to the trash. You might need to do 
the same for com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist & 
com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist.

Re-open Safari and test drive.

Good luck.
