Safari doesn't open right away?

Ok....I saw 2 days ago that after I turn my computer on or I restart it and I want to open safari, I click 3-4 times ( and nothing happens) before I can open it. I have all the updates done. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?
Thank you all for your help.

HI,
Make sure you have enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a *minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
Please take a moment and click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us whichMac OS X version you are running. Thanks...
If you are running Snow Leopard 10.6, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Safari doesn't open right

When I open Safari on my Windows PC it opens but there are bars except the address bar but it doesn't let you type in it; basicly doesn't work right. Also the apple start page is all distorted. I've tried uninstalling it then reinstalling safari but still doesn't work. I've also cleaned the Windows registry and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by distorted. Are there fonts? If not, you may have this problem (the work around is listed there as well):

Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

Reinstall Safari 5.1.2
Then restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, you may have a third party add on that was compatible with the prior version of Snow Leopard, but not 10.6.8.

And try Safari in another user account. If you can't open Safari there as well, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
Log back in to your admin account, launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)

Can anyone help please?

With Safari open, from the Menu Bar click Safari. Where says; Block Pop Up windows, Deselect that.
Keep in mind pop up windows can contain malicious code.

I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen. How do I reset that to open in full screen?

I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen. How do I reset that to open in full screen?

Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

Safari doesn't open on my Ibook G4

My Ibook G4 is a second hand computer so I reinstalled the software Mac OS X 10.3.3.

Hi Chuck,
As suggested above, what does Grab do when you try to open it?
If the Grab icon appears in the Dock then it "is" open. Grab is a funny little utility in that there is no "window" that opens when you open Grab. The top menu bar though, will change to the Grab menus. In these menus you can go to the Capture menu for what you are trying to do.
On the other hand, if you are saying that the application just bounces in the Dock or does nothing or opens to immediately quit, this is another kettle of fish?
Perhaps if you can post back with what actually happens when you try to open Grab we can try to get to the bottom of it.

Safari doesn't open in start page

Hi everybody,
since I have installed Mac OS X Lion, Safari doesn't open in start page. It opens always at the last page I was at least. What can I do?

Try this:
Open ‘System Preferences’
Locate and open the ‘General’ menu
Near the bottom uncheck the box that says “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

Since I made my Safari update yesterday, safari doesn't open my chosen webpage anymore at the start...

Since I made my Safari update yesterday, safari doesn't open my chosen webpage anymore at the start... Frustrating ! What can I do to have my opening page again ?

Go to Preferences-> general and change 3 settings there:
1. "Safari opens with" = "A new window:
2. "New windows open with" = "Homepage"
3. "Homepage" = <your chosen webpage>

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare here.

Firefox does not open right away

A few hours ago, firefox would not open right away for me . i was attempting to go on the internet and mozilla firefox 3.6.12 would not open right away for me. i had to restart my computer. also, mozilla did crash before that when i attempted to go into yahoo to check out my e-mail.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
