What about Safari 5.1? I had a similar problem with Safari 4.1 for Tiger. I extracted the interface of version 4.0.5 from the installation package with Pacifist and used that until Safari 4.1.1 came out. That version was fine.

Don't you have to partition the hard drive first before installing two operating systems, and don't you have to install Mac OS first?

Click on the desktop, then pull down the Finder menu, and select "Secure Empty Trash".

There are no receipts for Safari in /Library/Receipts (and /System/Library has no Receipts), probably because Appzapper removed anything to do with Safari before I reinstalled it. There must be somewhere else where the system keeps track of version numbers for Mac software.

I excluded Safari from being handled by Shapeshifter and APE. That did no good. I deleted Safari using Appzapper, then used Pacifist to install Safari from the Mac install disk. Safari was then at version 2.0.3. I then reinstalled the last combo update for Mac OS Tiger. That brought Safari...

I have the crash report, but it means nothing to me. Here it is: Date/Time: 2010-06-08 02:06:56.666 -0700 OS Version: 10.4.11 (Build 8S2167) Report Version: 4 Command: Safari Path: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari Parent: WindowServer [63] Version: 4.1...

I just installed Safari 4.1 for Tiger, and it crashes every time I try to open it. I tried removing the input manager software that I had added, but that did not help. Is Smart Crash Reports a normal part of Safari, or should I remove that as well? Is there any way to reinstall Safari 4.0.5...

Little Snitch is an outbound firewall. The signal that would turn on your webcam would be inbound, I should think. If you set the Mac firewall to block Apple Remote Desktop and Remote Apple Events, would that not stop someone from activating the camera from a remote location?

You could just get another free text editor. I like Textwrangler and Smultron. For some types of files, OmniOutliner works.

YouTube does not use Java. It uses the Flash plugin. You can obtain the latest Flash plugin from here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg

Adblock Plus is an extension for Firefox, and so is Blocksite. Probably just Adblock Plus would do the job. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

I believe that is called Intellitext. I do not see that happening when I browse, probably because I use Adblock Plus. I also blocked intellitxt.com with Blocksite. Maybe that is overkill, however.

I had problems like that caused by Acid Search after updating Safari. I gave up on it because of that.

To play ogg natively, all I need to do is change the setting for 'media.ogg.enabled' to true.

With Firefox 3.6.*, Ogg Vorbis files are being handled only by plugins. Why?? Using Mac Firefox, I set 'browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes', as well as 'plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types' to include application/ogg. I also changed the setting for Ogg files in Preferences >...

Why not get it from the source? http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Does Finder > Secure empty trash not work?

You are not editing from the menu if you open the bookmarks tab from "Show All Bookmarks". You cannot delete bookmark items from the menu, or move them around. You need to open the bookmarks tab, which is what you just described.

The reason for having a bookmarks menu in addition to a bookmarks tab is that Mac OS does not support the idea of changing things around in menus. The menu bar is under the control of the operating system, not the application. If you want to edit bookmarks you need to do that from the...

No, I rarely keep emails. I tend to read them and then delete them. The junk mail I mark as junk (if Tbird did not already do that). I then go into the junk folder and delete the junk after checking to make sure that is is all junk. I just wanted to see the status of the Deleted folder so...
