Safari acting weird lately...weird little like unable to login to yahoo mail account despite correct login provided...also when posting question to Yahoo! answers, 70% of your question gets chopped off and you have to re-type
it...any similar experiences?

Just had an unexpected Safari crash too...

I have Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10.6) on Leopard on an iMac with 1 GB RAM...

Should I switch to FireFox?

I read something about poor FireFox memory management somewhere but hey...

Hate to do this to Apple as I'm a big Apple fan but this is getting annoying...
 
If it doesn't work, then switch for that website at least.

You may try again later... maybe it will work again.
 
Yahooo answers doesn't work for me either - it crashes (been doing it for months) ... I've resolved it using for that site Camino instead, and Safari for most other sites. I think that site has some specific piece of code (java?) that calls Safari to crash. Hopefully will be fixed with next updates..
 
Safari has been acting weird for a few weeks, caused, I thought, by my upgrade to 10.5. But now Safari on my wife's Mac has started to act up too, and she is still stuck in/comfortable with 10.3.9 - so it's not the operating system, but Safari itself. I realize it can't cope with every possible piece of strange code out there, but up till now it hasn't crashed half as much as it has in the past month or so. Is Firefox a solution?
 
There are so many fixes for Safari. Try removing any thiird-party tweaks. Try trashing all related com.apple.safar preference. Be sure an empty your cache and history. Last resortsw: reset Safari ... and download a fresh. copy

Also check for weird plugins and remove for the time being.

Firefox isn't the "solution", performing regular maintenance on your Mac is. Like, have you ever repaired permissions? Download MainMenu. Be happy.

I heard FireFox isn't great at memory handling but I have to admit it is an attractive solution in the meantime, no errors and it handles the latest version of Google Mail w/o PMSing.

Why doesn't Safari periodically ask me about performing maintenance? I should do so automatically. I don't know how to do half the stuff you said, would it be too much to ask for you to describe the procedures for the above tasks?

Thanks,
