Take a look in the various locations. Make sure you haven't installed anything xtra... /Library/InputManagers/ /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ ~/Library/InputManagers/ ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ > > WRT Flash - saying Flash 10 is like saying you're driving a Ford. >> There have been three or four releases Flash 10.

Also, you can visit this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ and it will tell you what version the browser is actually using. Good idea to do both ... if they report different versions, then you need to figure out where else you've installed Flash... >but I remember that I downloaded it around the start of November. Don't guess. Know. In this particular case, if you've installed the latest Security Update from Apple, then you're probably running 9.0.151.0. One would hope that Apple actually does something silly like TESTING Flash before passing it on to us, but I'm beginning to have my doubts. Since installing that release, I've now had 6 crashes of Safari that all pointed to it dying. Reverting to 9.0.124.0 has corrected that, for now. In Safari's preferences, make sure you have UNchecked the "fraudulent sites" stuff in the Security Pane. That "feature" *COUGH* makes Safari check every url against Google's evil site list. The feature not only slows down browsing, but it also causes Safari to become unstable, I'm seeing. ...Personally, I'm not very comfortable with Safari sending every URL I view to Google... WRT Safari hanging when you quit... I've now had this happen twice. Each time, I found blither in my console log about the RSS syndication agent dying. Trashing the database from ~/Library/Syndication/ has made a big improvement there. WRT Safari being slow to quit... beyond viewed pages taking a long time to close, because the system has to page them back in, on a memory poor system, take a look at the web-site icon database. "~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db". I've noticed when that file gets large, Safari gets sloooooow.
