Mine crashes every time I use it.

Every time I close a window it crashes and I get the "Safari has unexpectedly quit. Should I send a message to Apple about it?" window. Even telling the program to quit does the same thing.

This has only happened since I upgraded Panther to version OS X 10.3.9 and Safari to version 1.3.1.

I'm using Firefox now, which is quite stable, but I've got a stack of bookmarks to migrate across to Firefox. Is there an easy way to do that?

Why aren't you using Safari 1.3.2 under Panther 10.3.9?

Well this thread has quashed any thoughts I had about going back to Safari.

I'll be sticking with teh mighty 'fox until Camino makes it to official release status (I have a slight betaphobia™). I've gotten so comfortable with Firefox's quirkiness that I even reverted to using its default theme, which used to piss me right off.

I urge anyone who finds it unacceptable that their browser crashes with alarming regularity, to check out one of the many alternatives.

On my own computer? Once or twice. On lab machines, sometimes it'll quit as soon as you try to load a web page. I don't know what's up with that.

Ditto on the myspace comment.

I don't blame it, though, if I were a browser and forced to view a thousand pictures of 'JUST SAYING HI!!1!' and load four different MP3s and 4s simoultaneously, while applying the  { chroma(color: everysingleone); } effect to the whole page, I'd kill my own process as well.

Depends what sites i visit. if i go to mysapce it will crash with in 30 minutes.... if i am only going to my usual forums .. ie vwvortex and macaddict.. weeks or months without a crash


oh and back when i played runescape (i stopped 5 months ago) i would have to restart my browser 2 to 10 times every time i played.

Mine crashes almost daily. Typically, though, I'll open 12 or more tabs and have 4-5 applications up. OS 10.4.4, Safari 2.0.3.

Anybody forget about Shiira?

Safari Bookmark Exporter

Take the HTML file it generates and import it into FF.

Safari never crashes on me... of course I use Firefox but that's beside the point.

Seriously, though, at home I do use Safari (whatever the latest Tiger release is) and I have not had any problems. Had much problems when I was running Panther, however.

My biggest problem with Safari was never crashes; that was rare. It was when it would beachball for 10-15 seconds at a time.

That's what finally converted me to Firefox. Every time I did a search on eBay, Safari would beachball for several minutes, then just when I was about to Force Quit (assuming I hadn't already) it would come back to life.

For me, while Safari looks nicer, Firefox is the only browser (beside IE on XP) to consistently play ball with all the sites I visit. And at the end of the day I want a browser to work, not look pretty. I'm pretty enough for the both of us!!

All browsers suck, Safari just sucks less than the rest.
