Sometimes the web page just goes blank, sometimes the browsers won't re-open and I have to restart the mac.

I see that you have reposted this under the correct category, so I will close out this instance and address your problem in the other posting.
SOURCE: when I try to use my safari browser with my mac
If you updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard you should note that safari for Snow Leopard is different from that for Leopard. Do a clean instal of Snow Leopard and that should sort the problem out. Hope this helps
SOURCE: internet crashing- what's the problem/ solution?
Sometimes for what seems to be a very difficult issue, can in fact have a simple solution.
These browsers have preferences lists in their directories which if corrupted adversely impact the functionality of these web browser applications, so try these steps:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-REMOVING SAFARI & FIREFOX PLISTS-
font.f1 {font: 12.0px Helvetica}
• From your desktop, click anywhere on a blank space on your desktop. Now you should see Finder listed near the Apple menu icon.
• From the Finder menu, click on Go, then Home from the
drop-down menu. This will take you to your Home folder.
• Locate and open the Library folder
• Within Library folder look for the Preferences folder and open it.
• Locate and remove to the Trash, these files:
com.apple.Safari.plist
com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
org.mozilla.firefox.plist
Once you have removed these files to the Trash, click the back button on the open Finder window.
• This will return you back to the Library view where you now will need to locate and remove to the Trash, the folder entitled "Caches".
*Once that folder is removed to the Trash, close all applications and open windows.
* Next, click on the Apple menu icon (upper left corner of your screen) and select from the drop down window, Logout<username>. This will take you the main login window. Simply log back in to your current user account.
* Before testing your Safari and Firefox browsers, perform one more procedure in order to repair folder/file permissions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
font.f1 {font: 13.0px Myriad Pro}
-RUN DISK UTILITY FIRST-
Go to Finder Menu bar
• Click Go > Utilities > Disk Utility and open up Disk Utility app.
• Click on Macintosh HD volume (or on the name you have changed
this volume to.)
• Select "Repair Disk Permissions"
**Let Disk Utility run this repair permissions process, until completion.
Once Disk Utility is complete and there are no errors in red in the completion summary (if there are errors listed in red, re-run DU to see if those error will clear- if they don't reply back to this post right away and let me know what the exact error message is), quit Disk Utility.
• Once this is completed, now you should relaunch
both Safari and Firefox to see if they will now launch.
Update me if these processes did not help.
Thanks!

go to network preferance and creat a new location and try.Also reset the smc and pram followed by Apple webpage.This will solve your issue. Also try checking different browser.
SOURCE: safari won't work and now google chrome won't work
if they both don't work, it's probably a configuration error in your network settings.
go to system preferences, network, and in locations, edit and create a new location. This sets you up from fresh with networking defaults. You may have to set up new airport and passwords to access the wireless, but this should get you up and running..
