I've been using the Safari beta for a few days now, and I've discovered one somewhat distressing bug: every time I got to a site that uses Quicktime (say, Apple's trailers page) and actually load a movie, the browser crashes. This occurred with both 0.8 and 0.8.1, and updating QT to 6.1 didn't help either.

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?

Works fine.

Did you try trashing all Safari preferences and caches? Open your hard disk in the Finder and type Safari into the search field to find them.

You might also consider pasting the crash logs into the Safari bug reporter dialog (if it accepts that much text, else send via the Mac OS X feedback page).

Works great for me too!

Well, if you are loading a quicktime movie on a page, and you minimise it, the loading stops .

It resumes on maximize.

Well, I nuked my Safari prefs and my Quicktime prefs, and that didn't fix the problem. I did manage to squeeze a crash report into the bugs field, though, so at least Apple knows about it.

Are either of you using dual processor machines? I am, and I know that sometimes exposes bugs that are otherwise masked.

as recommended earlier, delete the cache as well as the prefs.
on the other hand, right after i began to use safari, i do remember a screen that said i needed to download and install qt. i thought it odd, since i ofcourse have qt pro already installed. anyway, i did download it and reinstalled as requested. booted. and it all came up working nicely the next time.
thnx
