I just solved a big problem. It can be a warning to you. My Safari 
has been acting very badly: links often don't work, Proteopedia green 
links never work, it crashes often, hangs now and then, etc. etc.

A week or so ago I installed a couple of extensions in Safari. One 
was "Exposer" which is supposed to show a thumbnail of what is in 
each browser tab. Another was supposed to block javascript from a 
short list of bad websites. (Exposer didn't work at all anyway.) I 
just uninstalled both of the extensions and suddenly my Safari is 
working OK again. So stay away from Safari extensions if you want 
links, javascript, java, and plugins to work!
