[X4U] google crashes my browsers

[Jim Freeman]

Thanks Norm, for the detailed advice. No luck so far. I'm at "4". I  
had the same problem with a new test account. Preferential Treatment  
didn't find any corrupt preferences. I repaired permissions. What  
next? is there a way to reinstall Javascript without reinstalling my  
entire system?
