Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008safari freezing...
I am running 10.4.11, safari 3.0.4. Just recently(within the last week) Safari is "freezing" -- showing the rotating pinwheel and showing up as non responding when do a force quit. This happens more in some accounts than others but is annoying ( annoying enough to install firefox). does anyone know what is happening > I am running 10.4.11, safari 3.0.4.

Capture one or more "samples" of the app and send to Apple when the inevitable crash logger comes up when you kill it.

This happens more > in some accounts than others but is annoying ( annoying enough to > install firefox). does anyone know what is happening One recommendation I've seen to try to speed up Safari is to clean out the cache of favicons (the little site logos that appear in the Bookmarks menu and to the left of the URL in the location bar). I think these are in the file ~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db, so try trashing this. Also, do you leave Safari running for many days? I've found that it tends to slow down as the process ages, because the process grows as it caches lots of pages in memory.

Apparently, in some situations (not all by any means), when the site takes too long to contact, the browser, be it safari or firefox, goes to whirling pinwheel mode. Using Activity Monitor, at least the way I use it, is not informative. > On Mar 9, 9:20 pm, edie...@rcn.com wrote: >> I am running 10.4.11, safari 3.0.4.

Given that FF and Safari use two separate and distinct rendering engines, then it sounds like you have a more generalized problem. Try creating a new user account and surfing from there. Can you duplicate the problem in that environment? If an app is pinwheeling then you should be able to capture a sample (either from Activity Monitor, or the command-line via the PID). It may not be stuck in the app itself, but you will see what in the app is stalled. This is still valuable information.
