i tried to sign onto my drop box account on Safari on my iMac and it is locked up and locked in.  everytime i open Safari, it has defaulted to the DropBox website and becomes totally unresponsive.  I have to force quit the app.

Initially, please note that, in general, you can change the page to which your browser defaults to when you open it from your browser’s settings. More specifically, you can find more info and relevant steps on how to change Safari’s homepage in this link.
 
Having said that, could you please provide me with more info on whether you’re able to access your account if you navigate through another browser or through an incognito/private browser? 
 
Let me know what you find!
