How do I uninsall Safari 4/reinstate Safari 3?

I've just installed Safari 4 on my iBook G4 (OS 10.4.11 Tiger) and hate it. It doesn't work properly with my gmail account, auto-completes in the Google search window even though the autofill is switched off, looks horrible, is full of fuctions I don't want...you get the picture.
Please can someone tell me how to uninstall 4 & reinstall 3? Some people on the net have mentioned a Safari 4 uninstaller in the disc image, but it's definitely not there anymore.
Thanks, Matt

I had the same issue as you, I was using Safari 3.2.3 for Leopard and it was fine. I opted to try the finished Safari 4 but I found that you just cannot drag it and uninstall it. You need to do the following:
1. Download Pacifist and open the Safari 3.2.3.dmg
2. Look in the Resources tab and look for a file called Payload
3. Extract "Payload" to your desktop and unzip it, it won't show up as zip but you should be able to unzip it. If not, press Enter and add .zip to it and save it with the .zip extension.
4. After unzipping the "Payload" folder you'll need to replace the files in the folders in the exact area on your system. So you navigate to one of the folders and only erase what is in the "Payload" and replace the "Payload" version of that file to where you erased it from, and so on until all your "Payload" files have been put into the system to their respective places.
5. Repair you disk permissions and reboot your machine.
6. Run Safari 3.2.3 installer and it should run without having to ask you where it will be installed.
7. After the installer finishes, you'll need to reboot.
8. Enjoy, there's nothing wrong with 4 but I don't think it's quite ready yet. For me it seems to be crashing from page to page. It looks like some sort of memory problem. But 3.2.3 is working fine and has been.

I have osx 10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10, how do I update safari?

I been using MSN.com as my homepage for some time. Suddenly I cannot access it using the Safari browser on my iMac.

I opened the Apple Menu and chose Software Updates, but it does not provide a Safari update. How do I update Safari and what version should I use for OSX 10.6.8?

Safari is now a part of OS X and there are different versions (5, 6 and 7) of it.

How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application? The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work

When i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

when i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

Do you have this problem with all websites, or only some? If only some, which ones?

How do I get Safari 7 to open with my tabs restored from my previous session?

I have a new MacBook Air running Mavericks. How do I get Safari to open with my previous tabs restored. I used to be able to find an option in Preferences that said when you open a new window open with the tabs from my previous session. That is no longer available to me.

I don't have that option in my general preferences. Even though I have Safari set to open with all windows from last session, it doesn't. I also think its very slow

How do I run Safari with a proxy on start up by command line?

Hello,
I am using a piece of software called Sahi to perform automated testing of websites. It uses a local proxy to accomplish this task, so it runs the browser with parameters needed so that that instance of the browser is running with the proxy settings. For some reason it's not correctly setup by default with Safari on the Mac. But it has a configuration file where you can set the command line parameters that it runs the browser with.
So when I use Sahi in its default configuration, it doesn't work because the proxy is not configured, and I get an error ( http://sahi.co.in/forums/discussion/4607/sahi-doesn039t-work-with-safari-5-0-1-o n-macosx )
So I need to set the proxy. When I set the 127.0.0.1:9999 proxy in the System Preferences it works. My question is how do I run Safari so that it provides the proxy settings as a command line option?
This way I can add the command line option to the Sahi configuration file so that it runs Safari properly. I don't want to have the proxy settings system wide because I need other programs to work. I don't want to have the proxy settings set for Safari permanently because I also need to be able to run Safari normally outside of this special context.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I should mention this is Safari 5.0.1

How do I set Safari to prompt me to choose a filename when downloading?

I can't figure this out at all. How do I set Safari to give me a dialog box in which I can choose my own filename when downloadiing a file? Right now, as soon as I click "download linked file" it just puts the files straight on my desktop with whatever filename was assigned to it.
This will help me identify files as I often download files saved with numerical names.
