Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I just did the most recent Software update and installed Safari 5.1, but I am still running Snow Leopard. Big mistake. Several websites that are important to me are not working properly. Not happy at all.
How do I uninstall 5.1 and go back to 5.0.5?
MacPro, iMac, MBPro 2.66 Intel Core i7, MackBook 2 G2, various G5's, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 1 TB Time Capsule (early 2009) & Airport Express
OK, but it's not at all clear that there's a bug.
I did not refer to it as a bug- just as unexpected performance. I have had issues like that before, that I have reported in the same way, and found that they got resolved. I presume that someone at Apple contacts the webmaster or owner of the website and gets them to address the incompatibility. Is that naive, or does it work that way?

I'd be surprised if it did. My point is that you don't know yet whether your problem with that site is really due an incompatibility with Safari or to bad data in your account. If I were you, I'd enable guest logins, log in as Guest (no password needed), and test.
I just tried that. Same result. I have been using that site consistently for the last four weeks The only thing that changed between yesterday and today was the sftware update that I ran last evening.
In that case, you're apparently right, though I'm unable to confirm.
It runs fine in Opera. Maybe it is time to figure out how to import my bookmarks into Opera.
I wold prefer to stay with Safari, because it is the default browser on iPhone, and I like that the bookmarks sync.
I posted the problem on the Basecamp help site. I will see if they answer it, because it is not my account- I am a guest user for a particular project.
I also had some trouble with Safari 5.1 update and incompatible plugins.
With required administrator privileges, I trashed Safari 5.1 app, and reapplied MacOS10.6.8 update combo : Safari is now 5.0.5...
I would like to do that as well, not really, but 5.1 has driven me crazy. It's slow as molassas, currently using 6GBs of RAM, & oddly removed my "click-to-flash" so that when I opened it for the first time, I was hit with multiple videos & music clips all playing at once! If I trash 5.1 & redo the update combo, will it still keep all my cookies, bookmarks & open tabs, etc?
According to you, Safari 5.1 was using too much RAM and CPU, but only drove my macbook's fans crazy.
My Safari 5.05 extensions (AdBlock 2.4.14, CenterImages 4.0.5, ClickToPlugin 2.3.1) were not affected with the v5.1 upgrade/downgrade. The v5.1 incompatible plugins were Paperless and Cosmopod.
Monthes ago, I replaced ClickToFlash plugin with ClickToPlugin extension, more extensive and powerfull ; give it a look...
Through Safari's upgrade/downgrade, nothing has changed : preferences, history, bookmarks, cookies, etc. are still the same. But I guess that open tabs are a v5.1 new feature...
safari 5.1 is unbelieably slow for my experience. I just have to open a couple of tabs and windows and that's all it takes to have it to be sluggish. Hoping for a quick update.
im having the same probs and looking for how to go back to 5.0.5
Hey guys
The only Solution for this problem is to packup ur data on extrenal drive and delete your account and creat a new account
I just cameback from apple store and spend 4 hours there just trying to fix my Mac but they couldnt so the solution as i said above
Why? updating?installing 5.1 creat a bug(problem) in your account so u should creat anew account
I wouldnt let any Apple employee clean my mouse let alone touch my user account. I doubt you had a bug in your account considering lots of people seem to be having the same issue as you.
Creating a new user is Apple's solution for everything.
