When I have Safari open and I go to quit the Quit function in Safari is a very lighter shade of gray,so I am unable to quit.
Any suggestions?

First thing I would do is restart the computer and see if it cures the issue.

Or just force quit Safari. Isolated issue. If it repeats, then restart...but that won't fix a Safari-specific issue.

Hey Man, Thanks a million.It worked.

Which method worked??

Usually the suggested force quit method is all that's normally required.

The force quit Safari worked.

It's a new Safari feature designed to make it the most popular Internet browser.

Sounds more like one of Lion's new features, can't find the ones you want and can't get rid of the ones you don't want.

The force quit Safari worked.

I just recently got this problem too,
I think I triggered it when I got impatient when a url wouldn't load and then I hit another one,
That seemed to cause Safari to go into a "I don't want to quit now mode"
Force quitting solved the problem though.
