Go to http://9.yahoo.com then tell me how fast Safari and Firefox crash. This is nuts.

Whaaaaat? Its a few second crash for me. Whats going on here.

Tried both browsers, no problems. Sorry I have no advice for what to do. I can only test it for you.

Crashes Safari (V 2.0.4 (419.3)) for me. As far as I know, there isn't much you can do.

If you report the problem to Yahoo and Apple, hopefully it will be fixed.

Didn't crash Safari here... the first time. But I clicked the link again just cuz... and BAM!

There's definitely something funky about that site.

I've tried about 5 times now on Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) and nothing funny as happened. Page loads very fast too.

Tried once with safari.

No crash.

I'm not going to keep trying though.

Reinstall Flash, and if you are using an Intel-based Mac, make sure you are installing the correct Intel-compatible version for the Mac.

The best way to reinstall Flash is to run the Adobe's Flash uninstaller first, then run the Flash installer. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility because Adobe's installer fouls up Flash's permissions settings. (Not to a the degree where Flash won't run, it will, but you will see plenty of permission corrections pertaining to Flash when you repair permissions.)

I stand corrected. It can be fixed. After taking those steps above, everything works fine.
