If you’ve experienced an issue with Safari 5 where it works perfectly some times and other times it doesn’t load a page at all even though you are sure you have a network connection?
If so, do this:
Well sometimes in the folder /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ are plugins that are older that can cause Safari Problems. Plus if she takes all of the plugins out (to test) she can always reset Safari (or any application) by going to the folder /HerHardDrive/Users/HerUserName/Library/Preferences/ and find the file com.apple.Safari.plist and move it to the Trash can.

I found there was another issue for me as well.
I had installed X3Watch (accountability software from http://x3watch.com/ ) and then uninstalled it using a mac app (either AppZapper, AppCleaner or AppDelete) and installed and have been using Covenant Eyes instead ( http://www.covenanteyes.com/ ).
HOWEVER, I found that X3Watch was not truly uninstalled. I needed to download it again from the website and run the uninstaller.
That resolved my issue with Safari completely.
