Every browser I install keeps crashing on certain websites like YouTube and MySpace, but only on their frontpages. I've tried Safari, Camino, Firefox -- all of them crash. I have a feeling it has something to do with Flash banners, as both YouTube and MySpace have fairly large ads on their fronpages. I've tried reinstalling Flash, but that does nothing. Even this website has crashed a few times.

Any ideas as to what's causing this and how to fix it?

I used this guide to install OS X, and everything else works perfectly.

i could swear i read in one of the updates on firefox it was something about the browser crashing....
don't remember, maybe someone else will know.

There was some issues with Firefox 3.5 crashing on OS X. TechCrunch did a post about it here.

But this crashing isn't just with Firefox; it's every browser.

I wouldn't rule out bad ram or possibly a defective ssd/wherever_you_store_your_browser_cache unit. Since it happens across all browsers, you have to consider commonalities. That leaves either the OS or the hardware.

try to repair permissions.

Repairing permissions seems to have worked. Thanks, All.
