All Internet Browsers Freezing

I've found lately that all my internet browsers freeze after a random amount of time surfing, The only way to get out of it is a force quit.
Here's my info:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
Kernel Version: Darwin 9.8.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal

Ditto - numerous crashes. I have repaired disk permissions. Reinstalled Flash 10. ESPN.com will not load and the beach ball appears. Open to any and all suggestions to repair. Very frustrating. Happens in Firefox as well.

Lost my sidebar on all internet browsers

Lost my sidebar on all internet browsers.... Need a fix. Just cant scroll up or down.

Hi, I forgot to give you the link to the test site, below. Be sure to test with each browser and I need to know if you can see the animation of the Flash logo and what version of Flash Player is listed.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Did you turn off the hardware acceleration?
Since you have 3 browsers and they all are having issues and you listed the FF add ons we'll try to see what is conflicting with that browser first.
First I need to know what Anti-Virus program you are using and does it have it's own Firewall; if not do you use any Firewall other than Windows Firewall?
Do you have an extensions in FF? Do you have any plugins or add ons that pertain to your Anti-Virus in FF?
Thanks,

All fonts in all internet browsers are showing bold.

All fonts in all internet browsers are showing bold. Anyone has a clue as to what I might have done wrong?

Upon carefully looking at the fonts in my fontbook, I noticed that the font which is commonly used on the websites was missing all other kinds except its bold version. How did they get deleted beats me. Anyhow, I have now installed the regular, italic, and bold-italic versions of the font and it is all back to normal. ccccc

Internet browsers freeze up

I've been switching between firefox and safari and with both browsers, they will just randomly freeze. I am still able to use other programs though. Any help? Thanks.

It does this with any website I view and it does it with all internet connections I use: whether I'm at home (DSL), school, (WiFi) or my friends houses (cable/DSL).

All web browsers freeze (non responsive)

Hi, can anyone here please help me with the following... I own a fairly good iMac which I bought brand new from apple in 2008, however in the last few weeks I've started noticing problems. Both the web browsers are freezing or hanging constantly, this getting particularly bad today... It happens fast every third or fourth website I visit and the applications just become unresponsive. I've already restarted the mac several time and emptied the history/cache etc but no joy!
I know that with 10.5 Firefox is no longer supported, so I've now uninstalled it but Safari keeps doing the same and Chrome won't install as its not 10.6 or higher!!!... The only solutions I can find on proper sites is to upgrade the operating system or buy a new computer which I think are ridiculous solutions and highly expensive!
Can anyone here help? I've had to use my ipad to type this as the iMac is just now terrible and really annoying to use... For such expensive machines I have to say the support and updates are terrible!!!! Seems like every couple of years they want you to buy new software or machines!
My specs are;
Mac OSX 10.5.8
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks

For such expensive machines I have to say the support and updates are terrible!!!!
Seems like every couple of years they want you to buy new software or machines!
It's every year now and yes it's gotten too crazy, why I'm sticking with 10.6, then BootCamping Windows 7 Pro as it will recieve updates and support until 2020.
10.7 and 10.8 are turning OS X into iOS, it's a horrible interface for a desktop machine, but Apple thinks touchscreens are the future except most of them are likely coding with real keyboards and mice.
Ok, this is your choices.
First off 10.5 is totally insecure and obviously outdated, unless you backup wipe and reinstall everything offline and then use something like Deep Freeze to reboot the machine back to the frozen state, don't use anyting senstive online, you might get by a few more years on outdated browsers etc. 10-15% of OS X users are on 10.5 still, mostly PPC Mac's that can't upgrade. You can since you have a Intel processor.
Your next option is since your machine is likely hosed, is to backup files and wipe and install 10.5 again and any programs you can from original sources, update and then insert the 10.6.3 disk you can get via Apple online or calling them, it's like $20 or so. Then Software Updating until your on 10.6.8. Firefox, Chrome will work fine and recieve updates, don't use Safari as it's hasn't been updated for 10.6. So your good there and your 10.5 PPC software will work in Rosetta that gets installed if you need it for older programs. If you go this route your machine will be fast, faster than 10.5 as 10.6 has updated video drivers. This should do for you if you think your machine is getting a bit long in the tooth or don't want to spend too much more money on it.
The next step is costly, going from 10.6.8 to 10.8 (skip 10.7) via the AppStore online download, your machine qualifies, however all your PPC based software will not work requiring replacement and 10.8 will likely slow down your machine a bit. Slower than 10.6. Also it's a radical change, more like iOS. If you like iOS then 10.8 is your logical step. However there is a drawback, if the firmware upgrade hoses your iMac, then the only repair is a logicboard replacement and if your out of AppleCare then your looking at a new hardware purchase.
Your machine is 5 years old, thus out of AppleCare. Also depending how much you've used the machine, how long it's been on and inhaling dust to clog up the machine that casues it to overheat and kill things like the video card and the hard drive. Also how much you have been using the Superdrive which is needed. Only you know that.
So there is your choices, if you can't do the backup, OS X 10.5 install, then upgrade to 10.6 and then to 10.8, then have a local Mac specialist do it for you.

Flash in Iweb 08 not working on all internet browsers!

I have incorperated flash movies into a site or two, for some reason they work fine if your using firefox or safari, but they don't work right if your using Internet Explorer. (which is what alot of people still use)
I was just wandering if anyone else has ran into this and if so what I could do to fix it.
You can see what I'm talking about by going to www.i2hd.com. If you have time try viewing it in both browsers and you'll see.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jean,
Actually, we have an issue with scalable HTML content and smartshapes where smartshapes do not work as buttons in scaled mode.
Please try switching off the "Scalable HTML Content" option in the Publish dialog before publishing. Then it should work.

All Internet Browsers Running Poorly

My MacBook Pro has a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM, but lately my Internet browser have been running very poorly. It's not an upload/download speed problem, but rather my Internet browser (whether I use Firefox or Safari) will take use nearly 100% CPU. The only solution I've found is to disable Java and Javascript, but that obviously can't be a permanent solution on today's Internet. I only have Mac OS 10.5.8, so will upgrading to 10.6 fix this problem?

In the event it's an operating system-related problem, download the 10.5.8 combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866 . Using Disk Utility, repair permissions, install the combo update, then repair permissions again afterwards. Run Software Update in the event it's needed after the install.

HELP! All web browsers freeze on certain webpages

Alright I'm baffled at what to do with this problem, hopefully someone can help me.
A few days ago i was browsing the web when it froze up on me. This happens from time to time and not thinking to much about it, i force closed Firefox. Upon restarting it instantly gave me the spinning wheel and i had to force quite again (It does this everytime i try any page on firefox)
I then tried safari and it works for a while but upon going back to the site i was on, it froze up also. Same thing with Rockmelt.
Soooo it seems that certain websites are the cause of the problem. I've reinstalled Firefox, cleared my plugins, disabled java and javascript, I uninstalled flash, i repaired the permissions, cleared the cache. But nothing seems to work.
It happens on wellsfargo when i try to see a pdf of my online statements, and other random sites. I've looked for the problem online but I've yet to find a solution.
If anyone could shed some light on this that would be awesome. Thanks

Thanks for your response, I updated everything but that has not helped.
I did make a dummy user account tho and it seems that i can do everything normally within it, sooo the problem must lie somewhere on my user account.
Any ideas on what this might be?
Well, a number of ways to approach this. Start looking for .plist, prefs, caches which might be culprits. Or migrate everything into your "dummy" account, make it admin, and delete your old admin account. Or reinstall the OS (I believe Leopard has the Archive and Install feature).

All my browsers keep freezing

I have a macbook pro 15 early 2011 model 2ghz i7 and i have upgraded to 8gb ram...my macbook is always connected wirelessly to the internet and i have tried ALL browsers. Safari 6.0.2, Google Chrome and Firefox and all suffer the same problem.. They all start to freeze and get very slow. I am constantly having to reload pages even when playing games on facebook... I have upgraded to mountain lion and it seems to have become worse... this is my first time with a mac and to be honest this is starting to sway me back to a pc.. it is not just sometimes it is doing it everytime..please help me fix this

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

All Browsers Freezing on Certain Websites

I have no idea where to post this, because it involves all of my browsers on Mac OSX 10.5.3. Websites like the Scrabulous Facebook application, and my friend's website Wooohah.com just started freezing up the browsers. The page will load some of the data, and it looks like something else is trying to load, but the browser just locks up and gives me the rainbow spinny ball of death.
I've used Safari, Opera, Firefox, Minefield, Camino, all with latest versions and they all give the same response.
I thought it was something my Internet was doing, but I have no problems on the Windows machines I have in the house. I have no idea where to go on this as it's definitely the Mac only, but it's universal across all my browsers and only on certain sites. I'm not sure if they're trying to load some plugin that's crashing it.
If anyone knows anything I can try, I'm up for it. Last resort is a format/reinstall for me to see if that does anything.

Hi-
The Wooohah.com site works on my G4 with 10.5.3. in Safari.
Try another user account. If you need to, set up a new admin account (maybe call it "Test") and try.
If the problem sites work in the new account, then it is something in your user account that's fouling the works.

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:

Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Browsers freeze problem

browsers freeze problem

This sounds more like a problem with either your computer harware, your router/modem or your ISP. I suggest you do the following go to system preferences > network > Assist Me > Diagnostics. If you are connected to the internet all the things on the side should have a green dot and the message should say: This computer's internet connection appears to be operatting normally.
Now open one of the browers and make sure you see the Network Diagnostics window at the same time. Browse the internet for some time and if the browser crashes see if any of the dots on the network diagnostics went either yellow or red. If any did go red or yellow you should be able to figure out what might have went wrong.
I'm guessing either your wireless card, router/modem or ISP has a problem. It could also be that you don't have your network settings right.
For all this I'm assuming you have a wireless router.

Vertical Spry Menu-IE alters positioning. How do I fix this? Works in all other browsers correctly.

I've recently uploaded a new website and am having a glitch with internet explorer with the vertical spry menu. It appears perfectly in all other browsers. I had added css rules to move up some of the longer submenus so they would all appear on the screen without needing to scroll down on the main page to view them. In internet explorer, it positions the top menu item, but the rest of the list does not follow in suit. Any ideas? This is super frustrating! Thanks!

Hi,
I see now and it's really a little crazy, because the menus are there, just not where they should be.
I still need to investigate the matter thoroughly a little more closely, because I never saw it till now. Too bad that Gramps has not seen the thread, I'm convinced he will do the trick immediately! What if you would write a letter to him?By the way, did you make a try it with the original version of "SpryMenuBarVertical.css".

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.

Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?

Bold text does not display in internet browsers

I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
Thanks,

The reason it is happening is because the element is the child of an , the is in turn the child of a tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.
