iMac Size of Safari Window

[brdmsd]

For some inexplicable reason at times I close out of Safari entirely and when I later reopen it, it has shrunk to a much smaller window and even when maximize it with the green button, I still need to stretch the window to bring it to its former size. What can I do to prevent this?

There's probably an easier way, but you could use the 'reset Safari' option. That's more of a nuclear option though.

What does the reset safari do?Will I lose usernames or bookmarks?

Oh, you wacky Mac users...

Try this this fix from the Apple forums.

Try deleting the cache associated with Safari.​

​

Open the Finder. From the menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder​

​

Typs this exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db​

​

Click Go​

​

Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.​

​

Quit then relaunch Safari to test.​

I did what you suggested and got a message "file can't be found"
