Hi...

From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.

Click Show Cookies

Type facebook in the search field then click Remove All > Done

Quit then relaunch Safari. Try Facebook.

Hello Murphyco,

What is exactly your problem, can you access Facebook with another browser ?

Do you see a message when you try to access Facebook with Safari ?

Do you accept all your cookies in Safari's preferences ?

If you have Mac OS X v10.6 or 10.7 you can upgrade Safari to the latest version here :

I removed all my FaceBook cookies, but I have to do this every time I relaunch Safari after using FaceBook in my previous session.

I have not tried accessing FaceBook with another browser in my computer, I only use Safari, so it is the only browser I have downloaded. I do not get a message, the load bar just stops at about 1/5th loaded. I have already updated my Safari to the most current version avaibable for my computer. I am not sure to check if I accept all cookies or not, but deleting my cookies seems to temorarily solve the problem.
