Safari 6.0.4 does not open any pages (but Firefox works)

I downloaded Safari and reinstalled. The installation hung during the "Running package scripts..." phase.

I killed the perl process and the install ran to completion. Safari appears to work again now ...

FYI,

I've got a mac pro 4,1 and have been having a **** of a time with it since mountain lion came out. Today safari quit working and I used the above step to reinstall it which fixed the issue.

Thanks Niles. And yes Linc I'm not using a proxy server so you are correct in asking Tim not to post about that. It is a different issue.

Now if I can just get the latest version of MSOffice to quit crashing at start up....

Symptoms were exactly the same. I think you are creating noise here

NO not correct Gregory!

The reason why you have had to reinstall is because Apple has screwed up and it just so happens that I had the same symptoms that points towards the EXACT component Apple has screwed up on.

Reinstalling has worked for me. The point is Apple read these and along with the filed bug report they get a full picture of the consequences of messing up Safari 6 web components!

Hi Tim,

So you are saying that the proxy server issue is the same issue that I'm having? I'm not using a proxy server.

Please explain, I'd like to know how the two are connected other than they are both with Safari 6.0.4

NO I did not say that if you read the thread carefully.

1. i am saying I had the same problem where Safari wouldn't load pages but Firefox would.

2. I am saying I did the same thing as others and re-installed Safari without doing anything else and all is ok now

3. Others in different threads I mentioned have identified the WebKit component as the culprit

4. Have you filed a bug report to Apple to make them aware of the problems you have had so it doesn't happen to others?
