What update did you install - combo or just the .7 update?

Are you using the Safari 4 beta?

Can you get e-mail, or successfully use other sites?

Did you repair permissions before you installed the update?

Have you rebooted since these problems started? You say you "restart"
after the problems - are you restarting (i.e., force-quit) Safari/Firefox,
or the whole system?

Have you reset your router and cable modem/dsl modem? A simple way
is just to unplug the power on each for a minute or so.

To answer your question, no, I'm not having any problems. I used Hulu
today to watch both NCIS and Bones shows. And using Firefox now to
write this. I did the update on Sunday . . .

Let us know what you tried . . .

Try zapping a PRAM. Restart your computer and before is restarts simultaneously hold down the Apple, option (alt), R and P buttons until you hear the chime 2-3 times. Then release and allow it to restart. I had the same problem and this worked for me.

I know you're not going to like this answer, but Safari, for me, is a horrible browser. From my experience, it leaks memory, hangs, and freezes a lot! If you want a lightweight, no-fuss browser use Camino. It's blazing fast. Otherwise, use Firefox.

Good luck.
