Hi,
when I try and run safari on my 2013 macbook air, it sort of opens, but I can’t
do anything with it. If I command tab into the safari window, it says safari

Also, does it let you quit? Probably not, if it's busy. If it doesn't, use
option-cmd-escape to force quit Safari, then open it again. It's possible it
just choked on something the one time you tried to open it, and it hasn't been
able to close since so it can try again.
