After Safari 5.1 update the following plugin is missing: Switchable Java Plug-in for WebKit

Dear borstel3540,

I also have problems since today after upgrade.

Can you please explain in detail how to downgrade to Safari 5.0.5?

Many thanks!

hi all, i've also got the same problem, I can't get on my online game, could you explain how you fixed it please ? did you lose your files after you restored ? . thanks , ann

Thanks, already managed to fix it with Time Machine Back-Up, however, you need only to restore the Safari.app file (can be found in Applications in Time Machine at a date before the last software upgrade to Safari 5.1)

So, practically,

go to Enter Time Machine

-> browse (using the arrows at right hand bottom) to a date when everthing was still working

-> go to Finder

-> go to the hard drive (probably named Macintosh HD)

-> go to Applications

-> go to Safari.app

-> highlight Safari.app by clicking on it

-> hold 'ctrl' key and click again

-> select from the drop menu that appears 'Get Info'

-> next verify that is written 'version 5.0.5'

-> close Info drop menu

-> make sure the file Safari.app is still highlighted and click on 'Restore' under the arrows at righthand bottom of screen in Time Machine.

Now you can leave Time Machine by clicking on Cancel on lefthand bottom

Safari 5.0.5 will be added to the Applications under Safari.app (Safari 5.1 will also still be there and has the word (original) written behind it) drag this (original) marked file to the trash.

That's all, works very good and means the whole system does not have to be re-installed.

Hopefully Apple will cure this 5.1 version quickly - Make sure always to make a Time Machine Back-up before updating software!

Hope this works for you all!
