Safari loads wrong page!!!

I noticed that as I type "http://www.seattlepi.com" in the Safari address bar, Safari adds in in lite blue text what it thinks is the title of the web page you're looking for. and I noticed that when I type "http://www.seattlepi.com" Safari thinks it "Help-Yahoo Help Central", so I thought it must be some Safari History confusion, so I did a reset of the Safari history. But no change.
Now when I type "http://www.seattlepi.com" in the address bar the lite blue text says "Seattle Post Intelligencer" BUT Safari still takes me to the Yahoo-Help-Central page.

I really can't believe a browser would do something like this. I've used Firefox a lot, and InternetExplorer and they both have a lot of problems, but I've never seen a browser hijack an address I specifically typed into the address bar and take me to a completely different site!!
Amazing!

Tried another experiment, types "seattle newspapers" in the GoogleSearch bar on Safari, it brought up the Google page with several related links. Selected a link to the Tacoma News Tribune page, Safari brought up the Tacoma News page ok. Then I clicked a link on the Tacoma News page to another story and Safari brought up a Google page saying "the page you requested could not be found on this server", then when I tried to go back to the Tacoma News main page, Safari took me to a Google Page not found page.
Tried the google search again, now when I click on the link to the Tacoma News main page, Safari is taking me right to the Google Page Not Found page.

This is ridiculous!!! For some reason Safari must be saving some history or mapping of the url or linking it to some cached address, and its somehow screwed up that save address and has the url linked to the wrong address.
This is really amazing! How many times to I have to reset Safari and clear the cache to get it to work correctly? Or are there some temporary cache files that I need to find somewhere in some Safari folder and remove?

I thought an Apple/Mac product would be much better than this?
I guess its time to dump Safari and switch back to Firefox?

No extensions or plug-ins, and not behind a corporate firewall. I don't think there's any thing wrong with the PI site, the problem is that for some reason Safari has linked or mapped the PI url to a Yahoo address, and linked the TacomaNews url to a Google address?


It seems like the problem is related to getting a link from something like Yahoo or a Google search. IF that is the first way I access a site with Safari, then Safari seems to be saving some information linking that site with Yahoo or Google, (incorrectly), so then subsequent attempts to access that site get hijacked to Yahoo or Google.

IF I bring up Safari, and manually type in a new url into the address bar, or use a bookmark (to any site that I have not previously accessed via Yahoo or Google) then the sites load fine. BUT if the first access of the site was from a Yahoo or Google (or probably other search engines or news pages) then Safari tries to load the wrong page.

I emptied the Safari cache several times.
I did a "resetSafari" several times.
Still didn't fix the problem.

Shut down my computer last night, and rebooted today, and now going to a booked mark link to the seattle pi page worked ok. Also did a google search for tacoma newspaper and using links to the Tacoma News that way seemed to work.

So I guess all it takes to "fix" Safari is to empty the cache, do a full "resetSafari" and then reboot the computer, ... thats convenient.
