[X4U] google crashes my browsers

[Norman Cohen]

I am running 10.4.8 and Safari 2.0.4. I have no problem with that site.

Since you are having problems with a number of browsers and since  
this site has a significant amount of javascript, I'd be concerned  
that there is something wrong at a system level, with a plug-in, or  
with a bad preference file. Also, perhaps you have installed a plug- 
in that is conflicting.

A couple steps to try:

1) Log-in to another user account on your computer, navigate to the  
site and see if you still have the problem.

2) If (1) is successful, log out of your primary account and then log  
back in keeping the shift key down. This will keep log-in items from  
loading. Again see if you are still having problems with the  
finance.google site.

3) If (2) is successful, then you need to check your log-in items,  
internet plug-ins, and preference files (see below) in your user  
library folder, etc. to try to find the culprit.

4) If neither (2) or (3) are successful, you may have an issue with a  
plug-in in the /Library folder. That folder has files that is  
available to all users.

5) One other thing to try is to download Preferential Treatment from  
Version Tracker or MacUpdate and run a consistency check on your user  
and system preferences.

Good luck,

Norm
