Stuck on Safari 7.1. Any way to downgrade?

Hi,

So, for some reason, it looks like Safari on my laptop was upgraded to version 7.1. I did a little googling and found that 7.1 is a developer version. I am not, nor have ever been part of the developer program, and 7.1 breaks a feature of one of my more frequently used plugins (ClickToPlugin). Is there any way for me to downgrade to 7.0.5? I'm running OS X 10.9.4. I haven't been able to find any download links to 7.0.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Thanks, should I need to restore OSX on my late 2008 MacBook Pro as you suggest, am I correct in thinking I would need to run the original CD, which then would install OSX 10.9.4 by logging into Apple?

I think a complete reinstall is just a jocke.

By the way, Apple Support asked me to do a TM downgrade, it is not allowed by the system.

No way I'm gonna take hours to reinstall.

If Apple have installed themselves by mistake this update they have to find a solution and very quickly.

In fact we are lucky they haven't install 10.10 update by mistake...😠😠

Hello,

So I went to the Mac App Store today to update my computer, and to my surprise, Safari 7.0.5 was available as an update. I didn't do anything to make this update available, besides some basic things like restarting my computer and resetting the PRAM (although I don't think that would have changed anything). So, if you are stuck on Safari 7.1 like I was, try checking the Mac App Store to see if it's available.
