I have a 13" macbook from 2007. It is running snow leopard. As I am browsing Safari, I keep getting this problem report message about EVERY MINUTE that says "webkitpluginhost quit unexpectedly". I also constantly keep getting the spinning rainbow wheel, which permits me from browsing. Any thoughts?

Reinstall Flash, Silverlight, and any other third party plugins you have installed.

Is it reoccurring on the same website? Or, unrelated to any specific website?

What SIMBL plugins do you have installed? For, example "Click2Flash" and "Safari Cookies."

What Safari extensions do you have installed?

Always use the newest.

I am using the beta right now without issue. The beta includes a preference pane in system preferences for easier access to Flash settings.
