Is it me or are these security updates getting more frequent?
I’d be happier if they’d take the time out to fix Safari from crashing daily.
I honestly can’t remember the last time Safari crashed on me or had to be force quit. Maybe you have a bad Safari extension?
Safari rarely if ever crashes on me…sometimes it gets dog slow, but crashing, luckily almost never.
How about FTFF?
Mark, I was just thinking the exact same thing…
Firefox is the only thing that crashes on me in OSX.

i tell ya what, safari has been crashing on me lately too, never had this problem in past and permissions hasnt worked!
maybe i should take out inquisitor and piclens lol
looks like I’m running Flip4Mac, real player, shockwave flash, Java & Google update.
any of those known troublemakers?
weird, we just had an update yesterday… now this.. plus it’s not showing up via Software Update… I’ll just keep checking. I realize it’s available from the website.. but old habits are hard to break.
I’ve only had to force-quit Safari when a screwy website locked me up, and then perhaps once or twice a month (and I’m on Safari all day, every day). Every app screws up now and then, but Safari is better than most. Except for those few sites that refuse to deal with Safari (hello Zillow.com), I have no complaints, and on a broadband connection, no slowdowns, either.
@GmanMac
Safari is crashing all the time for me too. I thought it had to do with some third-party app I installed and then quickly uninstalled a month or so back. I’ve been having the problems since then.
Anyone else?
I gave up on Safari. I won’t use it again until they update. It’s all Firefox for me now.
Lots of things may affect Safari because it uses system-level frameworks (ie. WebKit).
You can always get the latest version of Safari from
http://webkit.org/
It’ll have the latest fixes, but also, as an in-progress development build, it might introduce other problems. I use it daily. You want to get the NightShift application to keep it updated, as a new build is released nightly.
if safari is crashing on you you might have a corrupted preference file. quit out of safari, search for safari.plist, drag it to the trash, reboot safari. that should fix it. also clear out your cache and empty your history.
works every time.
With Apple/Steve watching my back, who needs virus software?
Thanks Apple!!!
Safari also freezes often for me after visiting webpages for a long period of time. It started after the 10.4.9 update on my original MacBook Core Duo.
@safari crashes
Your advice about deleting safari.plist made all the difference to me!
Thanks
Bo
as soon as i put more ram in my mbook, no more safari crash.
Safari – crashing?
Sorry to hear it, but never here (3 Macs).
I run Inquisition, Saft, SafariPlus, PithHelmet, SafariStand. Also have Cool Iris Previews but never really have it active When I added Piclens everything went to hell. Pic Lens crashed safari, locked up my system, the whole shebang. Got rid of piclens and a lot of troubles went away.
Also ran into a particular website a couple days ago that was killing Safari on every visit. Answers.com made me crash on at least 10 different attempts.

Fuck Safari.. it would beachball like crazy, I found a slick theme for Firefox and I’ve never looked back.
MY GOD IT’S STILL FULL OF HOLES!
Add crashing to the list.
And the Javascript pop-unders are baaaacccck!!!
Oh poor Apple is severly overworked.
Not to mention that in iTunes the Quit iTunes selection has disappeard making have ot use Force Quit just to quit the app.
Something bad is happening @ Apple. Plus the update above, like some other posters have also reported is not showing under Software Update.
Is it me or are these security updates getting more frequent?
Oh poor Apple is severly overworked.
IMO one problem is it’s gotten WAAAY to easy to do updates. If an update has issues, you just fix it with a x.1 patch-up the next day….
Apple needs to take a little more time with their updates. Unless one happens to be for extremely critical security issue or something.
These updates should be held to the same standard as hardware, where once it’s out it’s out, so you’d better get it right the first time.
