Apple has released the 3.2.1 update for the Safari web browser less than two weeks after its predecessor. What's going on?Featured Whitepaper

The company merely states that Safari 3.2.1 "includes stability improvements and is recommended for all Safari users." Exactly what's been improved remains uncertain. What we do know is that some people are still reporting the same problems that they experienced with version 3.2. MacFixIt quotes a reader thus: "Still crashing. Safari 3.2 was crashing, I changed back a version. Tonight I went to 3.2.1 and it has crashed every two or three minutes. Going back again." Over at MacInTouch, one reader commented that "The latest version of Safari is as unstable in my G5 running Tiger as 3.2 was", while another said "The Safari 3.2.1 update (on Tiger, 10.4.11, on a 2006 MacBook) caused Safari to be unable to launch." One relatively common source of problems (and keep in mind that you're far more likely to hear from someone with a problem than those for whom the upgrade is working properly) with Safari 3.2 was incompatibilities with various third-party add-ons for the browser, such as PithHelmet. Why is that a problem, and what can you do about it? See page 2. |
