Safari 5.1.3 Reinstall After 10.7.3 Update

Question

So I downloaded and installed the new 10.7.3 software update which also included the new Safari browser. Everything appeared to go smoothly but when I opened Safari I was unable to go to any web pages. I reset Safari, cleared cache etc. NO LUCK! So I downloaded Firefox 10.0 for Mac on PC then installed it on to my Macbook Air and it worked fine. So I decided to use my AppCleaner to uninstall Safari and THOUGHT I could just use Software Update to reinstall Safari but NO! Eveidently I have completely deleted Safari and when I re ran the software update manually it didn't seem to reinstall Safari at all! When I click on Safari on my dock I just get the question mark over the icon. All I want to do is reinstall my Safari without having to restore my system. Everything else is fine! I hope someone has a simple solution. I'm still not even sure why Safari wasn't working in the first place after the update.

. . . an Apple advisor and he confirm the Safari 5.1.3 problem.. They don't know the estimate before the new update.  Could take days or weeks!
That's just not true.  If it were, none of ours would work either.  I haven't had a minute's problems with Safari, or OS 10.7.3.
Did either one of you reapply the 10.7.3 COMBO update here?

And repair permissions afterward, just in case.
Go to the Hard Drive icon, upper right of your screen.  Double click, go down to Applications folder. In there, find the Utilities folder.  Open Disk Utilities, select your HD icon on the left hand side of that pane, and then select “Repair Permissions.”
