I am goin crazy...just within the week wheneve I surf around using Safari Firefox or IE they always crash while surfing, or opening. It started with Safari so i tries Firefox then IE but thy all seem to crash on different sites and at any time and it gets worse as I try to surf longer then the browsers end up crashing on launch forcing me to restart the computer which helps for another few hours. Any ideas on a fix? My internet connection is stable and my chat clients run with no problem. HELP!!!! thanks!!

Are you running any sort of ad blocking proxy or other malware? Any theme modifiers?

95% sure you have some random software you have installed which is causing the problems.

The safari in 10.4 has crashed on me a lot more than in 10.3...

For what its worth...

I am just using it plainly with no plugins other than the default.

Is there a particular site you're trying to visit when the browsers crash? In particular, are you trying to visit a site which uses Flash, Java, or some other browser plug-in? The three browsers you mention -Safari, Firefox, and IE- are completely different engines, so they don't share any code, but they do share plug-ins. If they're all crashing, then plug-ins would be the most likely culprit, since they're one of the few common threads between the browsers.

Actually it happens while trying to load a page not after a page has been loaded...hmm I never thought of the plugins. Makes sense. Is there a central area in OS X where they all share the plugins? I may delete them and reinstall maybe that would help.
