Safari for Lion?

Am having a lot of trouble with Safari 6.0.2. It stalls sometimes when I click on a link and stalls really often if I type in a web address.

History... Did not have this problem until after I had the hard drive replaced. (It was one of those with a glitch, requiring replacement)

In reading through discussions today, I found one that said Safari 6.0.2 is only for Mountain Lion and doesn't really work with Lion. Not sure when 6.0.2 was installed. So what do I need to do?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

So if the OS system is not an issue, do you have any tips on how to keep Safari from stalling?

Thanks for the suggestion. I had done that a few weeks ago. Tried it again. Safari still stalls when loading pages.

So...... I give up! Safari is a pain in the neck. Firefox works!
