The Great iPhone Blog

After an ill-advised (the site is somewhat dysfunctional even in desktop Safari) visit to a local book seller's web site on my iPhone crashed Safari, I found that I could no longer use Safari. Every time I opened it, it would be unresponsive for a few seconds, then crash, taking me back to the iPhone's home screen. Since Safari attempts to re-load the last visited site, it would attempt to reload the book seller's site upon launch and just crash again. Catch-22.

So I opened Mail, went to a message with a URL in the body and clicked that. That caused Safari to launch and open the URL passed by Mail. Problem solved!
