[rubah]

installed update to osx, firefox crashed repeatedly trying to load eoff and livejournal, it loaded gmail okay though, which is weird because gmail is all about javascript.

but anyways, I turned javascript off, nothing changed, but when I restarted firefox obviously it did not crash on eoff.

safari crashed on whatever its homepage is set to be. I have no clue what that is.
Camino didn't care either way, which is what made me think it might be javascript.

but you know, I'm not for sure! I sent stu a couple of screen shots and maybe he saved them, but I dunno.

*talking about Macs never crashing* *hum*

Sorry, haven't got a clue.

Install 10.5.

You could try downgrading Safari. I Googled a bit and it seems like people have gotten the same problem quite a lot. Unfortunately it seems that each person fixed it differently. Try rebooting, disabling RSS, reapplying the update, applying this update (if that's not what you already did and if you have a PPC processor ) or disabling/uninstalling PicLens.

Yeah, install 10.5.

I don't feel like buying it! or pirating it!

I don't use safari, mike. I just opened it to make sure it wasn't a just-firefox thing.

What other programs were running when Firefox/Safari were running?

Maybe there was a conflict?

the same ones as always! finder kvirc adium and quicksilver.

It's weird. I reenabled javascript and it decided not to crash anymore. . .so far. WHATEVER YOU GUYS JUST BE WEIRD.

here's one of the error messages plus terminal debug window from when safari decided to take a break.

SnowCat: Rubah have you tried completely removing and re-installing Firefox?
SnowCat: As according to the terminal window that is the issue...

[rubah]
