I have been having problems with safari for a couple of months now. I have deleted the caches reinstalled, upgraded to the new one, and everything! However, every time it goes to open it starts and then unexpectadly quits! all of my other browsers work fine. I am running everything over airport and it is all configured correctly. Not sure what else to do! Please someone help!!!
Got a tip for us?

try running a permissions repair, often when permissions are corrupted it causes apps to shut down unxepctedly. it should be under 'disk utility' in your utilities folder, do this before and after any installations
DID ALL OF THAT
Thanks for the input, I did this, I searched in the finder... deleted everything to do with safari, repaired permissions, installed safari, restarted, repaired permissions and it still won't open!!!!

It does not fail to install... it installs completely it just won't open. It bounces, opens up and then fails to load the website and unexpectadly quits with that stupid little report problem to apple thing.
ugh.
i'm leaning towards a corrupted config-type file that you missed in your safari cleanup.
i'm finding safari files here:
~/Library/Safari
~/Library/Caches/Safari
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
oh, that list was shorter than i'd thought. now i wonder if i'm missing anything. does this list match what you found?
you may also want to (at least temporarily) move the files from:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
