I have 10.2.6 and already tried to reinstall it but all the browsers keep to crash when I start them, the only one works is safari..
Is there a reason? Can I fix it?

I tried Camino, mozilla and internet explorer, (last versions)

My sister is now having a similar problem with her system (also running 10.2.6) - except in her case, all browsers INCLUDING Safari are crashing at startup. The only one she can use successfully is the version of IE installed in her OS 9 partition (v5.1.7).

Did you ever get any advice on this?

I quote the infamous post by wataru in this thread dealing with the exact same problem, maybe you can get an answer there.

funny, every browser doesn't seem to crash on my Mac except Safari, even IE seems to crash less than it!

Same here. I reinstalled Safari, and even deleted my QuickTime� preferences, but it still crashes, usually when editing long documents with multiple windows open.

Somehow, though, it never seems to crash on the PowerBooks on display at the local TekServe Mac� shop here in Manhattan. I asked the staff there why not, but they had no answer.
