Safari opens but crashes when loading any page

I recently upgraded to Safari 6.0 (7536.25) on Lion 10.7.4. Now Safari opens but crashes as soon as I try to load a page. I've tried most of the fixes that I could find in the recent posts:
different pages to be sure it isn't page specific
disabled all extensions
renamed the extension folder so it wouldn't be accessible (even though all were disabled)I noticed that Safari recreated the folder still with all extensions disabled but just in case I clicked the Off switch at the top of the Extension list
renamed cache.db to get a new one
renamed webpageicons.db
Reinstalled Safari from the link in one of the forum posts
Please help!

I forgot to include the crash report info:

Firefox crashes when loading any page with flash. I have tried all available fixes including plugin updates. If I disable flash the crashes stop, but no flash.

Firefox crashes on any page with flash. I have the most recent version of Firefox on OSX Snow Leopard. I have made sure that I have all the most recent plugins and extensions and I am not running any custom theme. I have completely un-installed and re-installed Firefox and flash to no avail. I think the problem is in some user preference, but I cannot seem to find it. If I log out and use a different user on my machine, Firefox does not have the flash crash problem.

JYOuyang: I have the correct plugin for Flash. My problem is not the "Flash crashed" icon, which would be generally acceptable, but FIREFOX crashing, usually rather dramatically. I have since regressed to Firefor 3.6.3. I am still using Flash 10.1, the newest version. This no longer causes Firefox to crash. Now then -- if the same plugin causes no crashes in the new version of Firefox and does cause crashes in the prior version, it is not exactly a humongous leap to conclude that maybe, just maybe, there was a bug introduced in Firefox 3.6.4? I mean, it's not as if a major feature of 3.6.4 was a significant change in how plugins interact with the browser or anything... oh, wait, there was, wasn't there? Hmmm. Saying "It's Adobe's fault!" rings a little hollow when the 10.1 plugin works correctly in the prior version of Firefox. Any kind of host/plugin model relies on a contract between the host and the plugin, and when there's a crash, it indicates one side or the other broke that contract. Under the circumstances, it's difficult not to suspect the blame for this lies on the Firefox side. It's certainly possible that Adobe's code IS broken and the problem is that it SHOULD work with the new version of Firefox, if it were properly written, but it's not, so it doesn't. However, no one seems to want to dig down to find out or provide a workaround other than regressing to 3.6.3, so that's what I've done -- Firefox does too many other things right for me to switch browsers at this point.

Firefox opens but doesn't load any pages

Firefox will open but doesn't respond to any page directions. It's been removed a reintalled, data histories cleared, yet still nothing. IE works fine, so it's not a connection problem. The error consul is reporting chrome manifests as malfunctioning, but I don't know what this means. The program itself has not crashed.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Firefox opens but doesn't load any page after clean installation

I uninstalled firefox (incl. preferences and profiles) and installed ff 3.6.13. At first launch and starting up, the ff icon appears in the dock but then the icon is replaced by another ff icon in a kind of never seen icon-replacement-animation in the dock. After that the three dialogs for import etc. appear, after that the icon-replacement-animation takes place in the dock again and then a browser window with two tabs is displayed but neither
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.13/firstrun/
nor
http://en-US.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
is loaded, just white pages without any error message. Trying to load any other page does the same, just a blank page.
I also started in safe mode and disabled and reset everything but nothing helps.
What's wrong?

Safari opens but will not load the page after I erased my hard drive and reinstalled yosemite. Anyone have a solution? I have to restart for safari to open and load.

Hi everyone.
I recently erased and reinstalled Yosemite on my iMac 27 (model late 2013). After I reinstalled everything i've noticed that when it goes to sleep/nap and when I come back to it and open the browser (safari) it will not load. I have to restart the whole iMac for it to work. I've erased and reinstalled again and I still have the same issues. Can anybody help?

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 the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Safari and Firefox both not loading any pages yet i am connected to the int

Please anyone help..oh p.s. my iphone picks up the wireless so it is working.. HELP......

My Safari 7.0 is not loading any page

I don't know what I did wrong. My Safari 7.0 is not loading any page. The software start normaly yet when I put an internet address the aplication only shows a blank image.
I don know if there is a way to re-install the application.
Firefox and Google Chrome are working fine.
Thanks in advance for your attention and support.
Regards,

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Firefox crashes when loading certain pages. ID: d9839212-23dd-4214-94a1-8a7db2100704

Firefox crashes when loading certain pages. Often pages with video content
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: d9839212-23dd-4214-94a1-8a7db2100704

The crash reports indicates the crashes may be caused by a file named mcbrwctl.dll, that file is part of McAfee Site Advisor. Try disabling the McAfee Site Advisor to see if that stops the crashes.
To do that, in the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager. Select the Extensions panel, then in the list of extensions select McAfee Site Advisor then click on the Disable button. Re-start Firefox to complete the process.
For info McAfee Site Advisor has caused various problems with Firefox for quite a few people.

Firefox crashes when loading some pages I have looked at plug-ins and themes as the problem but I do not have any of the ones that are listed as causing problems.

Recently I downloaded some up grades for my computer and now FireFox crashes when I try to change pages on web sites. It crashes in financial sites, my earthlink email account and a business web site I manage.

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

My firefox browser closes when loading any page without a crash report

My broswer keeps closing when loading. No crash report pops up, it just takes me to the "well this is embarrassing..." page that asks if I want to restore, to which no matter which option I pick it keeps closing on me.

clearing cache, and cookies only removes the cookies and clears the
cache/ Not passwords or anything else. Closing in safe mode? That tells
us something. Now do this, 
1) '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' 
2) '''''Firefox > Add-ons > Plugins'''''. Disable '''EVERYTHING''' ! !
If Firefox closes on you, start it again and keep going. After everything is
disabled, restart in safe mode again. And let it sit for a while. 
3) Look at the list of programs below and run at least 3 of them. Each
program works differently so what one may miss another could pick up.

Acrobat X Pro will load one file, but crashes when loading a second file

This problem has existed since upgrading from Master Suite CS5.5 to Master Suite CS6.
It will open a new file, but not a second, any attempt to do so causes it to crash. Hence, requires it to be exited and restarted and only then will open the desired file. This occurs with either PDF files loaded on a drive or viewed in Internet Explorer.
In addition to the latter, when converting a file from Internet Explorer (i.e. for printing) it will convert the first attempt, but not any ensuing ones and again requires Internet Explorer to be shut down and restarted.
Again, none of these issues existed prior to installing CS6.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Cheers,
Michael

The version is 10.1.4. Also, I've run the repair, as well uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail.
The operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
This computer is build for video editing and has 24 Gb of ram and an i7 Extreme 990X processor...

InDesign crashes when loading master pages

Having a problem loading Master pages, document is saved from CS3 to CS5 then when I try to load master pages from a different CS3 document InDesign crashes any ideas?

Does it work any better if you save the other doc as a CS5 file (use a new name -- don't overwrite CS3 files becasue you can't go back easily) before loading the pages?
It often helps to export the CS3 file to .inx, then open that in CS5 instead of the .indd.

Firefox crashes when loading local pages (localhost)

Firefox crashes when I load local pages. This includes pages served by my apache server / localhost (WAMP). It also hangs when I load pages from complete websites that I have downloaded.
I was running Firefox 6 and upgraded to Firefox 7 before I discovered what the cause of the problem was. Downgraded to Firefox 4 and still had the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this, developing with Chrome is driving me mad!!!???

Hello Xircal, thank you very much for replying.
I have tried to perform a standard diagnostic. Everything seems to run fine in Safe mode. Disabling Hardware accleration makes no difference. I can't check anything else because whenever I try to open Add-on manager, Firefox crashes.
I reinstalled again, just in case, but it's still happening.
Is it significant that the 'Update' buttons of the two outdated plugins won't work when I click on them?
Thanks again!

Wifi will say that it is working but will not load any pages.

I’ve been having this problem for a while on my MacBook. It will connect to my home network and the little indicator says it is connected but whenever I try to load a page nothing will happen. I’ve tried a lot of things that haven’t worked and the router works for my roomates. I upgraded to mavericks and I think that has something to do with it. But I haven’t seen my specific problem on here so I thought I would give it a shot. If you have any suggestions that would be very helpful. Thanks.

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.

Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Firefox crashs when visiting any page with flash content, how I can I stop that?

HI all,
Any page I visit with a flash video of some sort causes firefox to lockup, youtube is just the most prevalent. The page loads, then the program compatibility assistant pops up. I can't download,cancel or close out of that window and I have to ctrl-alt-delete and shut down the plug in container manually to be able to continue surfing. I have tried all three options on the firefox support page, tried using both 3.6.6 and 4.0 Beta 1, updating flash, no joy on any of those attempts.
I can play videos using VLC normally and the video that starts up when I visited the 4.0 beta welcome page works fine if that helps any.
Can anyone help?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Or you can try creating a new profile. Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. Try creating a test profile, to see if the problem still occurs. See [[Managing profiles]]. Also it can be a extension or plugin causing the problem. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
