A solution for Safari crashes on pages using Flash
Authored by: lugal on Jul 27, '03 12:35:36AM

I had a similar problem with Acrobat. Worked fine in Classic, but crashed immediately upon launching in two accounts on my machine. Interestingly, it worked just fine a third account on the same machine. The problem was a corrupted ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist file.

Since it's invisible, it's easy to overlook. Try renaming this file in the terminal (just to hold on to it, in case it isn't the solution) and see if Safari works any better with the new file that the system creates in its place. Note: if it fixes Safari for you, you'll have to reset most of your account's Sytem Preferences settings.
