Really do prefer Safari, but....

This being asked from firefox, because my safari right now is virtually unusable, BBOD, forever opening pages, slower than sarah palin, won't link to other pages on any one page...
tried it all: empty cache, reset, killall webKit thingo from terminal, enable/disable plug-ins, extensions off, DNS numbers, even tried to open extensions gallery from menu, no go so far ...haven't done anything different lately
would like to stick with safari but got no idea how to solve this one...is unistall & reinstall of safari recommended? (currently version 5.0.3)

this bit of advice on appletoolbox.com seems to have solved my problem, anyways....
Clear AutoFill and favicons Go to Safari > Preferences and select AutoFill. Click the “Edit” option next to “Other Forms” and remove all of the items. Next, navigate to ~/Library/Safari and drag the folder “Icons” to the trash, then restart Safari.

    Google changed their menu bar. Firefox hasn't used Google for the default homepage since the Firefox 3.6 versions. Firefox 4+ versions use '''about:home'''.<br />

  • Mail hyperlinks open in safari, but screen is not automatically moving from mail to safari, only manually

    Hello,
    i'm facing already for some time an issue that i can get solved unfortunately.
    After OS update towards mountian lion (i believe, but not sure), a hyperlink in an email is opened in Safari, but my screen is not automatically swapping towards safari from mail. Not if i'm working on the desktop, nor working in full screen mode. I need to move manually to the other screen, to see the webpage opening.
    In the past it was working, but I can't find the settings to get this solved. Today I've update to Yosemite, and it didn't solve this for me.
    Who can help me? It is really appreciated
    thanks

  • My page works in Safari, but not in Internet Explorer

    I am working on a new site, www.icu-usapro.com. I am working
    on a mac and have the page looking and working fine in safari, but
    when i view it in Internet Explorer, the menu at the top moves and
    the links do not work. I imported the top from fireworks as HTML
    and used javascript to get the buttons to work. Could someone help
    me find out why it changes from browser platforms, I really need it
    to work in IE.
    thanks,
    Tom

    Just noticed that in IE and FireFox (Mac) your menubar
    overwrites part of the graphic in the top left.
    I tend to use FireFox (with the JavaScript console open) when
    developing stuff and then test in Safari every now and again to
    make sure it looks ok there, rather than use Safari during
    development and testing occasionally in Firefox (or Camino).

  • Html page works well in firefox & safari but not in IE 7

    Hello,
    This is my first time using html and the page i created works
    well in firefox and safari but not at all in IE7.
    I know I shouldn't do this (this is probably a sin) but I
    converted a PDF file to HTML in Acrobat and then took the HTML file
    into Dreamweaver to add a couple of hotspots and uploaded it onto a
    server. No problems in firefox and safari but when I open it in
    IE7, I don't see anything except for a thin line across the top and
    nothing else.
    I promise I will learn HTML soon but for now I really need
    this page to work across all browsers.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Here is the link to the page and the source code(bottom)...
    html page
    If anyone can help me, i'd really appreciate it... thank you
    in advance.

    You are not using the latest Spry files
    The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
    Then, if you have a look near the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background colour has been specified for IE as in
    @media screen, projection
        ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
        display: inline;
        f\loat: left;
        background: #FFF;
    Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.
    When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, make sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to modifying the new CSS file.

  • Text not appearing in Safari, but is in Firefox?

    Hello there,
    I've recently completed a webpage using Adobe GoLive. The thing is, any of the text in the pages will not appear in Safari, but does in Firefox, IE etc. I've changed about the character encoding, but nothing's worked for me.
    Another funny thing is, the if I make any of the text a hyperlink, then it does display in Safari (just the linked bit).
    I'm completely stumped!
    You can see my problem here: http://www.ireland-kilkenny.com
    I created part of the site using iWeb:

    Why is Safari so particular about coding standards, when other browsers will display the page with no problems at all?
    Safari is one of the younger browsers out there and so the developers concentrated on the core established standards - as time goes on they slowly add more of the 'quirks' that other browsers allow website designers to get away with
    WebKit is the core rendering engine of Safari and the developers have a website that shows what they've been working on. They also let you download a version of Safari that has been built with this WebKit to let you test out if various bugs have been fixed:

  • Installed Safari but cannot run!!!

    I installed Safari but when I attempt to open it, it will not stay open. It closes in less than 30 seconds. I have removed it and then reinstalled the software but it does not run. I have been running Safari on another windows computer with XP Pro without any problems.

    Backup your prefs, cookies and any other fragment that is in your user account used by Apple Safari, some are hidden, that should fix the problem. You can then import your bookmarks if needed.

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

  • Photo Gallery - works in Safari but not Firefox .. ?

    Hi,
    I have a photo gallery at http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Photos.html
    When I go into the albums, pictures are displayed in Safari but not on Firefox.
    When creating this page on iWeb I selected 'Web Gallery' instead of 'Album'. Does this make any difference?
    Regards.

    I have just visited "http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Pages/KartingEdgeRound-1.html" using both Safari Version 3.0.4 (523.12) and Firefox version 2.0.0.9 on a G4 PB 10.4.11. And both browsers displayed the same information from what I can see. All the pictures revealed themselves.
    Have I picked the correct album for your example?
    I tried other area's of your web site and all appeared to be the same as the Safari. Maybe you need to clear your cache.

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

    I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

    Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.

  • I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

    Dear everyone
    I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
    I read a european commission document explaining that
    http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
    If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
    I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
    but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
    I checked the following web page
    Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
    that is recommending the following:
    The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
    This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
    unable to open these pdf.
    Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
    Best regards
    Ramon
