I just reread your error message, and it dawned on me that repairing your home folder permissions (Edit: and seeing how things work out) before you reinstall Safari would be a good idea.

Snowy works differently than Mounty, so I'm not 100% certain of this, but I think you've got to boot into your restore partition, locate Utilities > Reset Password, and click at the bottom of that pane to repair your home folder permissions.
