Safari is broken! Please take a moment and try to help.

Hello, my Safari has recently stopped working. When I go to the dock and click on the safari, it opens to a blank white page like normally but it then dissapears after 3 seconds or so. But on my other user account on my mac, safari works fine. Hence, how I am typing this right now.

What's wrong with my comp?!

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hi Irish, I moved this to Mac OS X software since probably your Safari is not in Mac OS 9 or prior (as earliest release was on 10.2.something).

What version of Mac OS X are you running? 10.x.x (apple > about this Mac)
Which version of Safari are you running? (Safari > about Safari)
When was it working last time?

Open Console (Applications/Utilities) and keep that open, either as console.log or system.log when you are trying to open Safari. It will get new code and tell what is happening there and why it fails. If in doubt post that code here.
What have you done so far for troubleshooting? Deleted Safari permissions? Repaired permissions? Do you have any browser add-ons installed?
