Localized String Not Found

Hello,

I have a Macbook Pro - and just tonight when i open up Safari it the address bar when a page is loading it displays the blue spinning wheel and the phrase 'Localized String Not Found' the page loads and then it disappears but as soon as i goto another site etc it reappears.

Any ideas on what i have done wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

MacBook Pro., Mac OS X (10.6)

Hi

usually a corrupted Safari application - either replace it with the right version from a backup, or re-apply the appropriate Safari update for your OS and Safari version

Reinstalling Safari 5.02 did not work for me. Prior to reinstalling, I renamed the Safari folder in my home directory, deleted the application, and reinstalled v5.02 from Apple's site, and the exact same problem recurs.

I still have "LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND" all over (4 places) in the extensions panel in preferences, and the on/off switch is locked to the right.

Any other suggestions?

How do you reinstall Safari? I downloaded the DMG and ran the PKG installer, but it said there was an error and it couldn't install.

Do I have to delete Safari first and then run the PKG? I don't want to try anything until I know exactly how to do it without bricking Safari forever!

I had the same issue after installing Bitdefender 2011. BD 2011 had anti-phishging component which used SIMBL. Once I uninstalled BD, issue got fixed.

So check if you have any plugin/extension that depends on SIMBL.
