Safari completely freezes Mac

Show all headers | View raw

10.10.2

In only one of my user accounts, Safari freezes the whole system when I 
try to visit any website. I can switch between open windows, but all 
seem to be inactive, the Dock and menu bar are frozen, Activity Monitor 
is frozen, etc. Sometimes it unfreezes for a few seconds and then 
freezes up again. When this happens there is occasionally enough time 
for me to force quit Safari with Terminal or Activity Monitor, but 
usually not; so I force a power down.

I tried disabling all Safari extensions, I cleared all of its caches, 
and I deleted the entire ~/Library/Safari folder. Still same problem. 
Safari launches and displays my default page (about:blank) fine, but 
total lockup when I visit any website.

Firefox still works just fine, and the Safari problem only occurs in my 
user account. It works fine in my wife' account.

To make matters worse, Console is most unhelpful. I got Safari to freeze 
the system at 9:30:00 PM, and forced a power down and restart at 9:32:00 
PM. Here's the system log:

2/13/15 9:29:58.182 PM locationd[56]: could not get apple languages 
array, assuming english
2/13/15 9:32:28.000 PM bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1423891948 0

Zilch logged during the lockup.

Help?
