Safari quits after 2 to 3 sites.

After years of zero problems, Safari stops working after I visit 2 or 3 sites. If I shut down and restart the problem repeats. Once the problem crops up I find Mail isn't working, ditto with anything that needs Internet (Mail, App Store, Pandora, etc). iMac running Mohave "no software updates"...

Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply.

Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.

SO, Safe Mode seems to have solved the problem. It seemed to take forever to Start Up in Safe Mode, but now that it's running I've visited more websites than I've been able to since the problem started, Mail's working, iTunes Store, App Store, etc. Now I don't understand the last part of your reply, "...try running this program..." What Program???
