Please Help solve my internet app crashes

[seraphim]

Hello everyone,

I've rejoined the mac community after 10 years on the dark side after being an Apple user since the early 1980's .

I purchased a 12" Powerbook in June 2005 and everything has been fine save for persistent internet application crashes over the past month (Safari, Shiira, Opera, Firefox, Mail.app). No other applications crash. I've talked to tech support at the Apple Store and they've been unable to help.

You can find a set of crash reports here:

Crash Reports

I'm wondering if this is a Java problem. Its very, very, annoying and sadly gives me more grief than any persistent app crashes I've ever had with WinXP (which of course has its own problems).

Any ideas?

What version of OS X are you running? How are you connecting to the Internet? What's the hardware? Include some general information like this, and you might find some answers.

This has happened across two OS X versions:

OS Version: 10.4.3 (Build 8F46)
OS Version: 10.4.4 (Build 8G32)

I usually connect via Airport and have a DSL connection. Both airport connectivity and the DSL connection predated the problems.
