why can't Safari connect to free wifi when other browsers can?

When trying to use free WIFI in hotels, the connection requires opening browser and then the hotel log in screen pops up for me to log in (room number or sometimes just to say "agree")

Safari does not work!

I set my network connection to Automatic

The WIFI address I want shows up so I can select and the button turns green,next to "Wifi" in Network Preference

But when I then launch Safari, nothing ... I cannot log into the hotel's network

Yet if i launch Chrome or FireFox, immediately the hotel's window pops up and then I am fully on the Internet (and can use Safari


I have no firewall or such , so why can't Safari do what other browsers can?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
