ESPN crashing Safari. Ideas? (Firefox too)

[netdog]

Everytime I go to the MLB page of ESPN, Safari loads the page, then beachballs. I then have to force quit the application.

This seems to happen on pages that have video.

Safari 4.0.3
OS X 10.6.1
MBA 1.86 SSD (2nd gen MBA)
Newest Flash Player downloaded and installed.

Flash issues on Safari and Firefox

I had the exact same problems and tried every possibility to no avail, but I think I found the solution. I downloaded the combo update and reinstalled 10.6.1. It worked like a charm.

Here's the link:

Hope it works for you.

You could try installing NoScript when you're on FF and seeing which script is causing it to crash.

The re-install of the 10.6.1 combo update seems to have worked, at least for now.

I deleted all my cookies/cache and that solved everything for me.

Are you trying to access gameday? Go to your favorite teams website, and open it from there.

Edit: oops, gameday is part of mlb.com, not espn. Nevertheless, you might want to try firefox with that site. I find that the flash plugin works nicer with firefox than safari at the moment.
