If I remember correctly, it was somewhere under Users -> (Your Name) -> Library -> InputManagers

Alternatively, you could try to search under Library -> InputManagers.

Or, simply use spotlight. Hope this helps.

Can’t find the SIMBL file?

Merci beaucoup !

I removed the plugin and indeed, Safari has not crashed since then anymore on applet pages, even after a couple of restarts.

Solution:
Remove ‘SIMBL’ from your inputmanagers. (use spotlight to find it). Maybe the newer versions of SIMBL work though. But this fixed it for me.

Good Luck !

Java also hasn’t improved with the latest Tiger Java-update, I still have crashes. My current “solution” is to disable the Java plugin for Safari and use Opera for these pages.

Please let me know what happens. Btw, it interesting that your Safari workes for a couple of weeks without problems, because mine currently crashes almost every time on sites with applets.

Intereschting… I found this post googling around for information on random Safari crashes because that’s what mine is doing. Strangely the crashes seem to accumulate: I don’t have any crashes for weeks and then suddenly the browser will crash 5 to 10 times in one evening.

Things I have come to associate with these crashes are embedded stuff (flash, movies, etc) and many open tabs like I have when browsing reddit.com.

I’ll try your “fix” — maybe it’ll help, maybe not. If not, I’ll just have to write some more mail to Steve Jobs
