Safari does not load on start up

Since updating to the latest version of Mojave safari does not load pages when first start up, every time I have to restart the Mac mini to get safari to work. Firefox is fine, but prefer to use safari, I have looked on the net for several answers to no avail. Any advice would be much appreciated.


Thank you


Kind regards

Hi Eric,


Many thanks for your help I followed your instructions of emptying cache and history, checked all other suggestions, removed not used extension and Safari is behaving itself. Many thanks
