Q: How do I downgrade Safari version 8.0.6 to 6.1?

Hi,

 

I need to downgrade Safari version 8.0.6 that is currently running on my MacBook (@ 10.10.3. OS X Yosemite) to older version 6.1. I will have to run application testing on older browser version. Please let me know if this is possible?

 

Thanks

A:

Reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion. Safari is not a separate application from the rest of OS X.

    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Lion or Mountain Lion. Do a backup. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.

     

    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive (step 1), then the Partition tab (step 2), and select the partition. Using the /// at the bottom move it up (step 3) until the size box decrease by about 50 GB. Select the newly created space and hit the + button (step 4). Name it something and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format (step 5). Then hit the Apply button(step 6). Download the installer from the App Store and when it starts, point it at the new partition. You might want to make a copy of the installer outside the Applications folder to avoid having to re-download it in the future. Once installed, go to System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new partition and reboot. Test away.
