I'll cut to the chase... Tried to run the Acid 3 test on my safari, I would get to 50% and it would dump out (no error, no nothing) so I went poking around... 2 OLD plugins were in Library>Internet-Plugins these were Adobe SVG Plugins. I removed these to the trash and all of a sudden Acid 3 works (I get 75/100 Safari 3.1) and I no longer crash on some heavy webpages.

I also can login to my Router (WRT54G Running Tomato) and view the bandwidth without crashing!!!! SO HAPPY I used to have to use a PC to access this.

Anyone know why/how those old plugins (from 2004-2005) were installed or in my system? I don't remember ever installing that junk.

They were probably a part of an Acrobat Reader install.
