Bunches of problems with Safari 5.1

* Popup windows with OK-buttons are un-clickable and the apearance of them clears the content in all open tabs - resolution: Force quit Safari and relaunch

* Canceled Print (in Safari) clears open tabs and logs me out of Facebook

* Unable to submit bug-report/unable to add bookmark with "+" at end of adressfield : just getting error sound

* Cant reinstall 1Password shortcut

...more probably to come...

More comes here:

Pulling a tab from a browserwindow used to create a new window. Pulling a tab in Safari 5.1 deletes the tab - Thx a lot Apple

Safari is awful, a true nightmare!

I no longer use it.

I use Firefox and Chrome (800MB of memory for these vs 1.9GB for Safari alone!).

Been using for Safari since its launch. Took my laptop into Apple Store for a repair this week and it was returned with the updated Safari. Who asked for the update? Not me.

Now...NOTHING but problems.

COOKIES - I say no cookies in preferences... yet they are added. The NO COOKIES button is meaningless.

DATABASE STORAGE. I want NONE from websites... but there is no NONE button anymore. It is NONE WITHOUT ASKING. So, essentially.... I am ASKED and ASKED and ASKED every single time I click on a link. Driving me insane.

I'm going to Firefox.

It took me a year before I tried installing version 5.1.7 of Safari again and the problems are still present, at least the one regarding pulling a tab from the tab-bar to create a new window - that doesnt work at all. I tried it on another user and it worked there so I guess I have a problem with my user, any ideas of what it can be and what I can do?
