Any mac geeks able to help me with a random issue? Safari keeps crashing on me, but only when I open facebook (which is doubtless telling me something).

Had a perusal online and it suggested deleting internet plug-ins, but looking in my folder, I don't seem to have any.

Any bright ideas?

Get a PC?

Firefox.

Until someone who actually knows what they're talking about answers you, have you tried deleting your browser cache files?

I would second Louisiana and advise you to use Firefox instead of Safari.

If only to see if the problem persists.

I stopped using Safari two or so years ago...

much prefer Firefox and have had very little go wrong since.

Try flock browser or indeed Firefox browser and that should sort it out like others have said. Used to use Safari too and it didn't get on with FB either.

+1 for firefox but quite a few like chrome as well.

Used Ssafari about twice before deciding I didn't really like it...

Once you've deleted browser cache, you could try deleting all Facebook cookies from Safari.

(Click Safari in menu bar, click Preferences, click Security, click Show cookies. Delete the cookies using Remove All.)

Then quit Safari.

Relaunch Safari.

Try Facebook.

It has to be said thought that a lot of people have had problems with Facebook on Safari, and Firefox may be a better bet. Which version of Safari are you using?

Thanks all.

Louisiana, it's version 5.0.3, which means absolutely nothing to me, but I'll try what you suggested and see if that sorts it out.
