Safri crashes regularly every two weeks or so.
Running 10.3.5. on a PB17 Rev. A.
Any ideas?

Doesn`t matter which site I open.
Happened today when I wanted to open the feedback site on Ebay.

Haven`t tried another account yet.

What does crashreporter say? Go to the console application and post the safari crash logs here. We can't help you if you don't give us any info -- Safari shouldn't just crash.

I saw an issue with my parents where QuickTime was causing lots of crashes in Safari and Mail.app, and it was clearly evident in the crash logs. Post the logs.

Crashreporter?
There is a lot of stuff when I open Console - but I don`t know what to copy.
Everytime Safari crashes there opens a window that asks if I want to send a crash report to Apple. If I copy the information in that window - would that be sufficient?

Probably.

But you can also run the console application, click "logs" and then open ~/Library/Logs, open CrashReporter, and select Safari.

What should I be looking for?
I don`t want to put all of it in here because it`s huge.

Mine isn't crashing but the upgrade of Safari with 10.3.5 surely is a big step back in performance. It seems slower and I get the spinning beach ball where I can't do anything far more often than I ever did with 10.3.4. There is also the problem that if you click to open a link in a new tab, that tab will come to the forefront unexpectedly. I often open up slow loading sites in new tabs while I type in an other. I most definitely *don't* want to have the Windows experience of having some other site unexpectedly come to the forefront.

Bad Safari. Bad.

Yep. That sucks even worse.
