I've tried all the repairs suggested by Mac FixIt -- turned off fraudulent website, cleaned the cache files, and removed the contents of the Safari files in the library folder. Nothing has made a difference, and it crashes the instant I try to open a window. My productivity today is shot.

Great article. I've had 4 crashes within 30 minutes of 3.2. This is ridiculous. My plugins are APPLE products like QuickTime and iPhoto something. Switching back to Firefox, and very disappointed with Apple. Didn't buggering up the MobileMe launch teach them about releasing stuff too soon?

Works like brand new fast if not faster than before.

Terrible. If it's crashing once every seven minutes you're doing well.

It's crashed lots of times, but only once was there any information in the console:

Crashing for me too, it got so bad I had to switch to Firefox until they get a fix out.

No crashes with 3.2 on two different macs, only odd plugin installed is Inquisitor, and usual flip4mac and flash etc. type standard plugins. Leopard 10.5.5

I had issue with older versions as well ....I relied on 3.2 but it is poorer... I am using webkit for now as a bypass.

I've had it running from the moment it came out, and I've been to dozens of websites. Not even a hiccup. What's going on here?

I have a stock install of leopard 10.5.5, safari crashes opening apple's home page, looks like a double release in processing the java vm plugin.

This is very unfortunate but perhaps indicative of how thinly stretched engineering is at apple. Not nearly enough testing.

Thank goodness for firefox.

Just installed 3.2 and it crashed as soon as I tried to re-open the previous session (via the history tab). Otherwise it works for about 10 minutes then crashes. I have uninstalled Growl and removed AcidSearch, I have unchecked the Fraudulent Sites box... it still fails! I am going back to the much improved Firefox until this is sorted. Without Acid Search Safari is, frankly, eclipsed by Firefox anyway!

my safari crashes all the time, i needed to download the firefox trough azureus, safari wont let me with the crashes

also i was using safari right now and it did crash WTF

I installed it yesterday and since from that it started crashing. It is ridiculous and boring. So I guess I wont install it until it gets fixed by apple people.Earlier versions were fantastic but I was completely disappointed by apple's new release.

It works fine for me. Installed first thing this morning, and have been using it all day for development and it hasn't missed a beat.

I have never installed any plugins for Safari. Everyone I have seen that has problems are using some screwball third party plugin...

Multiple crashes for any simple task...If a Flas player is embedded, or other video, this will tend to crash Safari. I'm using Tiger 10.4.11 on a dual 1Ghz Quicksilver G4..
Previous version worked flawlessly... I'm hoping for a quick fix from Apple on this..

Safari 3.2 works well on my eMac PPC 1.25Ghz machine. On my iBook 500Mhz machine it crashes shortly after startup and I did not have this problem with the previous release. There is no excuse for such erratic behaviour, and I think the development team ought not to have released an 'update' such as this one.

I had constant crashes but uninstalled Acid Search as recommended in another forum and no more problems. I also saw a similar suggestion related to Pith Helmet.

So it seems it is incompatibility with some plugins - i.e. not Safari 3.2 itself

Since installing last night my macbook won't even start up. It just displays the grey screen with the apple logo and every 2 minutes or so attempts to re start again. I run a business and everything is on the computer. I am backed up with time machine and am desperate for a solution. Any help appreciated.

Safari 3.2.1 is out now.

Although it doesn't promise to rid users of crashes, we're guessing this is what Apple is trying to put an end to. So far, at least one user (over at Apple Discussions) has reported than not much has changed since updating to 3.2.1, meaning the browser still crashes. However, if your MacBook doesn't even boot properly, Safari may not be your (only) problem (the problems may range from MacBook-specific firmware to overheating issues). If you do manage to start up OS X, better run that Software Update again to see if there are other updates to install.

Just downloaded 3.2.1 and it is continuously crashing. i get about 5-10 minutes of online time, then it will crash 3-4 times, then open up and it starts all over again. i wish i still had 3.2 and i am looking for it to download.

I'm on 3.2.1 and it crashes every few minutes. This is ridiculous!!!

I just opened Safari 3.2.1 on the google page and within minutes my CPU goes on overdrive, Safari stop to respond. the I need force quit Safari and all is well again. My question is how do I go back to my previous version of Safari. I often check work in several browser even though I use Firefox mostly version 2 as I am wary to update to their version 3, as Safari turned out to be so unusable.

Due to constant crashing of SAfari 3.2.1 I am switching browsers.

WHat a pity Apple. Another lost chance!!!
