Certain features of Facebook does not load correctly on Safari 5.1.7

After 5.1.7 Update today, Safari loads facebook with broken compoents. I can't see my messages and many buttons don't load on facebook. Is there a way to install a clean copy of Safari?

MacBook (13-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.4), 4GB RAM

Hi...


A clean install of Safari would require reinstalling the Mac OS X using Lion Recovery


Try troubleshooting Safari first.


From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.


Click: Remove All Website Data


Quit then relaunch Safari. Try FB.

Ok..


Make sure Java is enabled in Safari > Preferences > Security


And try deleting the cache associated with Safari.


Quit Safari.


Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db.


For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library


Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.


Relaunch Safari. Try FB.




I'm pretty sure it's not a FB issue because I'm not having any problems with FB with Safari 5.1.7 on Lion v10.7.3

I updated my friends iMac to Mac OS X 10.7.4 without updating the Safari and it seems that she has the same problem on facebook. So it's definietly not a Safari problem and its related to the new Mac OS X update (10.7.4). I think if you update your mac you will at least be able to post on walls or chat because I don't have problems on those parts.

So if i update to 10.7.4 I will have other issues though aside from chat and posting? It's odd that the issues only started today and I have not updated anythingat all. Nothing has changed on my comp in terms of systems since yesterday when it worked fine although i do notice that chat has a new feature of showing the time messages are read on people's phones so maybe there was an FB update today which messed things up for Macs.
