Internet Browsers Constantly Fail- Safari and Firefox

About a month ago, my computer started randomly quitting out of Safari while I was viewing webpages. They weren't games, videos, anything like that, just news sites or primarily text pages. It would happen about once an hour, maybe twice an hour. After about a week, I got frustrated and installed firefox. For three weeks, I had no problems. Now, in the last four days, it has started doing this again with firefox. I tried using Safari, and had the same problem. I've run all the software updates, and nothing else seems to be having problems. Unfortunately, firefox quits much more frequently, up to 10 times in an hour, making it very hard to get anything done. Please help!

Hi Katie0086,

Click on your HD > and on Finder menu click File > Get Info or select your HD and press apple and I simultaniously.

It will open new window about your HD and check on capacity and available.

Try third party utilities to repair your permission and optimize your HD, like Onyx and macHelpMate:

Try to update your Safari, Firefox or Camino to the latest version, and install their recommended plugins.

Good Luck.

OK, first things first, boot into safe mode by holding the shift key.
Double click on the hard drive icon.

Look for the Finder's status bar. It will tell you how many MB or GB are left.
Look in the View menu to make sure the status bar is not needed to be shown, if you can't find it on your Finder window.

Next click once on the hard drive and select Get Info in the File menu. That will tell you how much disk space you have.

If you can't tell us either, attempt a repair with the disk that came with the MacBook following these instructions:
