That arrow doesn't show the past 20 links visited when you first open a window. At least for me that arrow on the far right of the address bar only takes me back to the original page I opened when I opened the window.

said by MorWired :

In Firefox the address field has an arrow at the far right, clicking on that gives a pull-down of visited links. I believe that is what is being sought.

said by SeminoleRob :

(1)There isn't a pulldown arrow on the browser address to look at the places you have been. All 3 other browsers have it.

said by nccycle :

At least in my copy of Fire Fox I can't just open up a new window and press on an forward or back arrow and see the last 20 places I have visited. I have to go to the history menu on fire fox just like on Safari ( and on Fire fox I only see the last 10 sites I have been to vs Safari's last 5 days worth of history of where I have been.

Press (and hold) not click - works fine for me.

Press means hold down the mouse button (a 1984 Mac term, one of {Click, Press, Double-Click}).

said by SeminoleRob :

Gee, I never would have figured out how to press a button :uhh:

said by Johnny :

Press on the Back or Forward icons in the upper left corner. Press means hold down the mouse button (a 1984 Mac term, one of {Click, Press, Double-Click}).

Hey, it works on MY PC. What's wrong with yours? :D

Not getting into my Safari bug hall of fame either.

said by bobrk :

It's not a common use case for me, but the one I tested was. ;)

said by lunarPlexus :

I believe that was the original complaint, not the contorted scenario you manufactured. :)

said by bobrk :

Gack. Refresh, I didn't test that.

said by lunarPlexus :

If I follow a link (as you suggest) and then go back, then refresh returns to the correct spot. If I just go to the page and then scroll down (not travelling to another page), then refresh goes to top of page. Once the scroll point has been established, it always returns to that point on refresh, regardless of where I might scroll to before hitting refresh.

said by bobrk :

Are you waiting for the page to reload completely? I just tested it on one of my XP boxes, scrolling down one page, clicking a link and then returning, and after the page completely reloaded, it jumped down to where I was before.

said by lunarPlexus :

Works on my Mac; not on my PC.

We're really getting to the bottom of this one. :huh:

said by SeminoleRob :

I installed it last night. Pretty fast. Couple of issues

(1)There isn't a pulldown arrow on the browser address to look at the places you have been. All 3 other browsers have it.

said by bobrk :

Which is also how you do it on every other winders browser, amazingly enough.

said by GilbertMark :

Hell I get that on the Mac version as well.

said by BellBoy :

A pet peeve that I uncovered...if you stop at a spot on the site, halfway down say, most browsers will snap back to that spot after a refresh. Safari is sending me back to the top of the page.

Anyone else getting that also?

said by bobrk :

Which is also how you do it on every other winders browser, amazingly enough.

said by lunarPlexus :

Also, as reported on page 6, ctrl-L.

said by bmfan :

just single click the little icon, don't know why i never tried that before :)

said by bmfan :

EDIT: haha, disregrard that, I just stumbled on how to do it

said by mbernste :

Firefox has had that for years.

OMG, this is the absolute coolest thing I've ever seen a browser do! If you highlight some text, and right click, you can have it search google for you on it's own! Now THAT is cool.

said by MorWired :

Firefox >> Bookmarks >> Organize Bookmarks >> File >> Export ....

:)

said by Squirrelly :

I don't see bookmarks manager or export? What am I missing?

said by fuzzholio :

i cant type anything in the address bar nor the search bar either...i tried istalling under xp service pack 2 compatibility...no go...tried with out aero ...no go....uggg

said by fuzzholio :

i still cant this thing to work...i put it on a machine with a two week old vista install and i get no text for the browser nor html text...i install, uninstall, reinstall, reboot...nothing for hours...yet every one here has no problems....i'm buggered

said by NunyaBidness :

I am really liking this
I've never really been a Mac kinda guy, but this is really nice.
I may just switch my default browser now.

said by elias :

Did anyone hear Steve say they were releasing a version of Safari for "Winders?" Pretty hilarious.

said by bbarrera :

Thats too bad, its working well for me on OSX (except for Saft error message at launch).

said by barnhouse :

I dont know if this has been mentioned or not, but you cant *yet* do a search from within the address bar.

said by elias :

The Safari 3 beta for OS X didn't work for me at all, so I had to get rid of it.

said by La Luna :

Open Fx>Bookmarks Manager>File>Export. Save to desktop. Open Safari>File>Import Bookmarks>Point to saved file on desktop.

said by jaa :

Ok, I admit I have no idea what I am doing. Rarely use a Mac, so I thought I would try safari on my pc.

I find the text blurry and hard to read - is there a way to make it sharper? IE and Firefox are sharp.

I don't get any tabs. How do I open a new tab?
Edit - got it. File->new tab. duh

Still can't seem to get the text looking good.

said by Squirrelly :

how do I import my bookmarks from FF, I'm on a Mac?

said by bobrk :

Open location in Safari is command-L on a Mac and control-L on winders.

said by bobrk :

Aren't you on windows? That appears to be a Mac program.

said by kfsutops :

This may be a dumb question, but if I install it on my Macs does it replace my current Safari?

said by Count Zero :

Bug noted -- though over here the processor stayed at about 50% and the memory at first jumped to about 75MB and then stabilized at 70MB.

said by La Luna :

Can someone tell me how/where to install this:

»www.cooliris.com/Site/download-safari.html

It's a zip file, not sure where in Safari to extract it to.

Works great in Fx, thought I'd give it a try in Safari.

said by DrAsh :

6 bugs reported and counting - not quite as rock solid as the Mac beta, but I'm wanting to choose it as default - just needs a little more polish.

said by rjackson :

Remove the words "empty page" from the homepage box, and just leave it with "New Windows Opens With" set to empty page.

said by Digital :

said by Pichin :

has anyone tried on a iMac g3?

said by sporkme :

That's a nice tidbit that they could have included on the download page...

said by 93254336 :

It's also somewhat retarded that the Safari 3.0 installer removes Safari 2.0. Fortunately, 2.0 can be restored with the 3.0 uninstaller.

said by La Luna :

Thanks. It's obviously a "bug" then. Oh well, it's to be expected.

I probably won't use this as my default browser, it's not as customizable as Fx with all it's add on's, but it's still pretty nice, definitely worth keeping and playing with.

said by smcallah :

Anyone else seeing this issue?

I'm using a dual monitor configuration with Nvidia graphics on Windows XP.

When I put Safari on the 2nd monitor and maximize it, the Safari window disappears, but it is still on the taskbar. I can only Move or Close it. Move doesn't do anything since the Window is not there.

When I choose close, it closes, and when I reopen, it starts, maximized on the 1st monitor.

I always like to do my web browsing on the 2nd monitor off to the right, so this is a bit annoying for me.

said by Count Zero :

Yeah the posting issue where clicking "Post Now" or any of the others brings up an empty comments field and then I have to press the back button and try the "Post Now" button again until it goes through.... happens very randomly and not too frequently.

said by Count Zero :

Happens to me randomly as well -- it was also happening recently with WebKit too... didn't seem to happen in OmniWeb or FF so I don't think it's a site issue.

said by La Luna :

Hmmm....I can't preview, then post here either. Only if I choose "I'm feeling lucky" does posting work. If I preview, then click "post" I get taken back to a blank reply box.

said by steven s :

I'm guessing it's probably more along the lines of trying to get more sites to tolerate Safari so there's less problems with the iPhone.

said by BellBoy :

Edit: oh! and you can change the order of tabs easily by dragging and dropping.

Will report back any issues. :)

Hmm, when I have my Safari (windows) on full screen, minimize to tray then click to go back to it, it's not maximized anymore. It reverts itself back into windowed mode. Anyone else?

Does F11 work on it?

said by Squirrelly :

How does it compare to FF for windows? I use FF on both my Mac and PC, Safari was never compatible enough for me in the past
