That doesn't surprise me. None of those files appear to have anything to do with Safari. I know I said "remove some preference files" but try & do so with some discretion. Preference files have a standard naming convention - com.apple.iTunes.plist is related to the iTunes software written by the company that owns the apple.com domain, com.hustler.picture- viewer.plist is related to Hustler.com's picture viewing software. Files you have deleted don't have "safari" in the name and some are clearly related to network settings & power management. Why are you deleting them in order to try & solve a Safari problem? Stroller.
