I have been experiencing regular crashes on both FF and Safari. All other apps seem to be working fine, no crashes. I took the following from the console log and the Library Safari crash log. It is greek to me. Is there enuff info here to point me in the direction I need to go???

Another thing could be cashes that are not clearing as they should, even in both browsers. Many interweb files, mainly videos are extremely large and may be over crowding your available RAM and drive transfer speed, thus ending up as corrupted input to the graphics portions of the apps.
Plus, I think both browsers have been accused with having memory leaks. That could also be a big problem with 768MB of RAM.
Safari 3.1.2 claims to be a Universal build, you might try that as well as the most current version of FF. Could be the cheapest, fastest 'solution.'

Did not think of the Caches. I will start there. This is "Her" temp machine and who knows what they might hold.
Intend to run Cocktail first then clear them manually.
Will advise.
Thanks

I get that as well at facebook or myspace using firefox sometimes. I solve it most of the time by just keeping the cache clean. Sometime I'll just Run Onyx and clean cache and temp files, that seems to do the trick.

SB: I cleared the caches and installed the latest Safari. I also increased the cache size on one of them (dont recall which one) She only used it one day and seemed to be ok. We are out traveling this week and the machine is resting at home so wont have any real test for over a week.
Thanks

If nothing works and if my curiosity gets the best of me I'll use Amaya from the W3 and play with the code. I rarely have that much time anymore but sometimes some site just get my goat.
