MobileSafari suddenly crashing on JB 2.2.1 firmware?!

**CalebLyons** · 02-13-2009, 01:44 PM

Starting this morning, MobileSafari will open to a blank page, pause for a few seconds, then crash back to Springboard. I've uninstalled a few things I recently added in Cydia, and even tried this trick but with no results.

I've fixed my user dir permissions, emptied my cache and cookies, did a hard reset and a few other things with nothing to show for it.

Has anyone else had this problem with 2.2.1 or am I just a glitch?

UPDATE: FIXED! SEE BELOW!

remove adblock

Uninstalling AdBlock fixed the problem. It's too bad I paid for the registration on it and everything, since it did speed up browsing. I'll make sure to report the bug to the developer.

Thanks to mysteryskater and alek! I wasn't looking forward to spending Valentine's Day rejailbreaking my phone!

i thinks it because the new safari bug fixes in 2.2.1 interfered with adblock, just a theory.

its not 2.2.1, it broke my 2.1, i think they figured out that xsellize cracked the app so they turned it off.

I contacted the maker of AdBlock, Cocoamug, and this is what they had to say:

sorry for the inconvinience. The problem was that my site was down and AdBlock tries to download this file from it every time it launches http://cocoamug.com/adblock/hash.txt which simply check that your code has been blacklisted.
My site is back up so the problem is "fixed". I will work on improving the whole startup sequence in MobileSafari today and a release of AdBlock 2.2 will follow probably tomorrow.

So download the newest build, which showed up this morning for me, and you should be all set!

Hi,

Same problem, I never installed adblock in the first place, but still facing the same problem. Safari opens with blank page and then closes in 2-3 seconds and I return to home screen. Please help!

STAY AWAY from this app. This app is a SCAM! I paid for the app and it does not work. I have emailed the developer countless times and he will not reply.

Here are the contact details if any of you wish to try and get your money back.
