Safari is terrible. Let's admit it. Web browsing with Safari is like reliving my days of using AOL with a 26 Baud dial-up. I mean it: rainbow-colored twirly ball hangups and unexpected crashes. I've been using it because, well, I remain steadfast in my hatred of IE and there hasn't been an alternative that doesn't just make tradeoffs in regard to inadequacies. However, I am extremely encouraged by Firefox, and am hoping it will mean I can get rid of Safari (and that lame Safari icon in my dock) forever.

I use Safari several hours a week and normally have none of your problems.Let's say I am more than 20 hours online a week and I absolutely prefer Safari as a browser - for the ease of use and the quick possibility to manually turn of Plug-ins such as "Flash Ad-ons" or even sometimes PDF-Reader. Or all other Preferences in Safari.
If I want to browse without deleting all my Safari cookies then I just take Firefox 1.0.6 where I delete all cookies after browsing.
Internet Explorer just sucks cause it does not accept/support most W3C standards - even the new version from M$ will not support the standards. They want to create their own standards.
- I hate dictation from REDMOND!!!
--- I do know IE - we have IE on the (University) Library's PCs ---
PS: The only thing not done well in Safari is Bookmark Management compared to Firefox. (e.g. save several Taps as a Session-Bookmark)

Your user experience appears to be an isolated one. We have several dozen machines running Safari without a hiccup.If I were you, I'd download and install AppleJack:

Then boot up in single user mode (hold down command-s while booting up)
Once there type in 'applejack' and run the automated processes.
I suspect it's something more to do with issues of your OS than Safari itself.
