Safari refreshing pages over and over

Hi,
sometimes when i open a website or tab in safari, it refreshes the page about 4 times while opening it - e.g is opens the page, loads nearly everything on the page, then starts the process over again.
It does this like 4 times and is extremely annoying.
Also, i've found sometimes i will go back to a tab, and it reloads the page again. So frustrating.
anyone know why this is happening or any solutions?
Without doubt Lion has been the worst update in a long time.

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to WebProcess or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions. 
http://www.google.com/firefox
The '''about:home''' default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the '''''Sign In''''' hyperlink for signing into Google services and the '''''Options''''' "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.

Safari printing page orientation and scale defaults changed

Until recently, Safari defaulted to portrait and 100% scaling when printing. I had occasion to print a particular page LANDSCAPE and 70% scale which was successful. Now that has become the new default and I am unable to change it. This affects Safari only.
Searching for help, I've seen this problem referenced in older versions and it was suggested to either change the values in com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs or to delete it altogether. I looked for the equivalent values in my file but couldn't find anything similar to what had been suggested. I then backed up the file and deleted it. No joy. The file is restored but problem persists.
My Safari version is Version 4.0.5 (5531.22.7). I just recently upgraded to that but don't know if that is relevant to my problem.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

You're welcome.
. I don't have a com.nameofyourprinter.plist file (should I? I'm using a Canon MP530),
Actually it depends on how long it's been since you last connected the printer to your Mac. Anytime you print from your Mac a new prefererence file (.plist) is created in your home folder/Library/Preferences.
Where I said...nameofyourprinter at the time I didn't know the manufacture of your printer. If you aren't sure how to locate .plist files, check out my short video.

Safari getting slow, pokey and buggy?

Ok,
Is it just me or is poor Safari slowly becoming the ugly step sister in the Apple product family?
It started life with much pomp and attention, but as Microsoft has stopped Explorer for mac (crappy product anyway..) Apple has also seemed to stop focusing on this product.
I find the last few versions to be very slow.. almost like they are stuck in mud when downloading pages for the first time. The Loading update keeps showing but nothing really loads. Often it is simply a matter of stopping the load and doing it all over again.
I just find this strange and wish Apple would focus a little less on the "featuremania" of Safari and perhaps just a little more on making it the smoking fast and reliable browser it once was.

Greetings,
Which version of Safari are you speaking of? Your problems are not the fault of Safari, but rather problems on your system that have not been addressed. Lots of things can affect the speed of Safari, including whether or not you have any Input Managers, corrupt files, etc. So, did you use disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) to Repair Permissions before and after you installed Safari? If not, do it now.
Next, Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network.
In the DNS Server tab, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Next, do these things in order:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

Netscape is faster than Safari uploading pages to busy site.

Netscape 7 is MUCH faster than Safari uploading pages to an interactive web site that has a lot of traffic. Several times using Safari to upload after filling out forms or doing other things, I've gotten impatient, switched to Netscape 7.02, did the same form or interaction, and sent the page. Netscape hangs much less time before the confirmation downloads to my browser. I've gotten confirmation via Netscape while Safari is still hanging, even though I tried to upload via Safari several minutes before I switched to Netscape. This has happened at NYTimes.com and other busy web sites.

Greetings,
The reasons behind your experience could be many, but try this to see if it improves things:
Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network.
In the DNS Server tab, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Next, do these things in order:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Repair Disk Permissions, then restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

Does refreshing the order status page over and over push delivery dates up?

I've been a caged animal for the past week. Pacing back and forth methodically refreshing the page every 5 minutes. I couldn't eat, sleep, nor defecate. I did nothing but wait. I waited for the return of my 9/19 delivery confirmation for my gold iPhone 6 Plus 128GB. During this time my delivery date has been bounced around more than the two balls I always carry. As of now, the fruits of my labor has resulted in a 10/14 delivery date. What progress. Should I stop refreshing the order status page? Does anyone know if refreshing the page over and over pushes the delivery date up? TIA.

Settle down, eat something, take a nap or something. It's just a phone. Wearing out your mouse refreshing the page is not going to make your phone come faster.

You should be able to reinstall the new version.....
Out of curiosity, how did you install the old version over the new? I would have thought that was impossible.

Windows 7 PC connected to HP printer via time capsule. Printer keeps printing the same page over and over

I am using time capusle and have my husbands Windows 7 PC and my MacBook Pro connected to it. I just purchased a HP LaserJet P1606dn and have connected and printed to it succesfully using Bonjour on my MacBook.
I have connected through Bonjour to the printer on the PC, but when I print a page, it keeps printing the page over an over. It stays in the que. I also set up my dual boot MacBook/Vista laptop and agai, I have no issues on the MacBook part, but it does the same thing on the Vista Machine as on the Windows 7.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Located a solution:
Go to Control Panel - Printers --- right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support. Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

Safari refreshing too much on large documents and keeps reloading

Is there any known work around. I'm viewing a PDF document on Safari (on my iPhone) and Safari keeps refreshing so I have to wait (a long time over edge) for the PDF to reload. Is there a way to avoid this? I wish I could "save" webpages as they are and view them with out Safari refreshing for changes on a website that won't have changes.

Hi Lefty, did you install any new fonts lately, or maybe MS or Adobe Apps?

Safari Top Page on Yahoo Game Log Refresh

This may happen at other sites, but Firefox does not do this. When I have a gamelog open and refreshed automatically every 30 seconds, Safari refreshes, but resets to the top of the page. The updated content is at the bottom. Firefox refreshes, but stays at the bottom of the page. Any workarounds?

Adobe Reader printing 4 pages, over top each other on 1 page

I created a form for my office in LiveCycle. It's 4 pages with lots of fields to input data. I extended features to Reader users, which is what my coworkers use when they fill it out. It worked fine for several months. Suddenly, the form is printing all 4 of it's pages over top of each other on 1 page.
I've printed the same file from a different computer on a different printer, and it comes out fine. I've also printed it from a different computer, to the same printer, and it comes out fine. So, therefore, I believe the problem lies with that specific machine, and/or perhaps its Reader settings. But I've gone through all the print and document settings and can't find anything that looks out of the ordinary.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be causing this? Is it a print setting, or is there a way to reset Reader's settings to default?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
