    To update to Safari 6.2.8, open the Mac App Store, click on the Updates tab, and install any Safari or security updates which appear.

    To update to a newer version of Safari, upgrade the computer’s OS.

    You can't update Safari without updating your OS X version.

    If you do not want to upgrade your OS X version, the OS X Mountain Lion version of Apple Safari is no longer a secure web browser under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and you should cease using that version of Safari.

    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is no longer receiving any security updates and, I believe, shortly is no longer going to receive any new iTunes updates, either.

    Same issue/problem with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox which both ended support for OS X 10.6-10.8.

    Mozilla Firefox just ended its web browser support and its last full version, issued this past August (ver. 48.0.0), for OS X 10.6-10.8 can still be used for awhile longer.

    OR

     

    Mozilla is continuing security support (no more new web browser feature support) for the Firefox web browser through their Firefox ESR program, (which you CAN download, install and use) that will continue security only support for Firefox until next April 2017 for OS X 10.6-10.8.

    You can use these ESR versions. Ignore the enterprise/educational support notes.

    Look at SeaMonkey.
