Does anyone know why and how to fix it???Browsers work for a few minutes and then crash...Mozilla firefox opera all crash
 
Have you dragged the icons from the drive images into your Applications folder? I only ask because some people actually don't do this (becuase they don't know) and start having problems.
 
'... installed new security for os ...' - ?, could you be specific? - such as, what security application was installed?, and what version MacOS X is installed?

Did you configure the security application? - if so, how?
 
Yes I updated to Security Update 2006-003 (10.3.9 Client)

I shut off plugins and that seems to help,,But there must be a reason this is happeneing..

Did you install 'Security Update 2006-003' via the 'Apple, Software Update...' menu item [not recommended], or did you download the installer (MacOS X 10.3.9 - Client, 28 MB in size) application [highly recommended]?

After installing the update, did you launch 'Disk Utility' ('/Applications/Utilities/' folder) and perform a 'Repair Disk Permissions' on the updated hard disk drive?, if no - consider doing such.
 
Random guessing ...

If you have not already - turn OFF your Mac, wait - no more than one minute, and then turn it ON. Now try opening (launching, running) 'Firefox', 'Mozilla', 'Opera', etc. Any difference?

If not, quit the web browser applications, and place each application's '.plist' ['org.mozilla.firefox.plist' and 'com.operasoftware.Opera.plist'] file (from the '~/Library/Preferences/' folder) and the 'Mozilla' folder (from the '/Library/' folder) - onto the 'Desktop'. Try opening the web browsers each again. Any difference? If so, you will have to configure the various web browser's settings, again.
