The situation becomes a "memory violation", which shouldn't happen of course.</p> <p>This was the situation for me, there seems to be a lot of unsolved Safari bugs around which crash the browser without any warning.</p> Just figured it out after a couple of days of playing around.. apparently if you launch a script from inside an element which hides the element using display=’none’, Safari’s DOM tree is somehow messed up and you cannot no longer access the hidden element’s parentNode or anything above it.

This was the situation for me, there seems to be a lot of unsolved Safari bugs around which crash the browser without any warning.

Mine started crashing particularly on some web2.0 sites, for example when using netvibes.com or other javascript heavy services.</p> <p>I first noticed the thing as I'm working on a RoR project with a javascripted UI, and Safari keeps crashing all the time on it. This problem at least has something to do with modifying the DOM tree on the fly, which Safari doesn't seem to like in every situation. Firefox/IE has no problems with it and the code has been checked a thousand times... Very annoying.</p> Same here..

Let's see if that helps.</p> I tried manually repairing permissions and running the daily/weekly/monthly scripts. Let’s see if that helps.
