Something sure happened last night, all at once, to both browsers at the same time on the imac, that no longer allows reaching most of my most visited sites, including this MR forum. Also Apple.com, btw. Hard to believe all the sites suddenly abandoned web availability to 10.5 at the same time? A number of other sites still work as usual.
And as I mentioned, all those sites are still reachable on the iPad that uses my same u-verse router to get there.
I've since trashed the Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Caches.db File, and the same symptoms still apply: I can go to some sites, the others just will not load. Btw, it's different than when I enter a non-active address which gives me the Safari Can't find the Server message.
Update: after a little success with Safari at least opening a few various sites (not MR forums, or Google, etc) for a minute or 2, now Safari won't even open those same stes that it could 2 minutes ago. WHAT THE ...?
Soon -I Hope! I will upgrade this OS and browsers etc, but now it seems I have to be suspicious about at's going on w/ this iMac?

Google has recently announced it will no longer support old browsers, but I cannot remember the versions. Yahoo may be doing the same, and those two websites may have had maintenance updates rendering those old browsers ineffective.

All of a sudden, my iMac (still on 10.5.8 for another few -weeks?...) will not load any Google or Yahoo page, or this MR forum! in either Safari (v 5.x.x) or Firefox (v 3.x.x). Just get a blank white page that never loads. These sites were all fine an hour or so before. I can only visit those sites if using the iPad -which is using wifi on the same network.
Other sites I have checked like the NYTimes, continue to work fine on both iMac browsers...
How to fix?
