Posted by Steve Denn on July 6, 2007 at 11:55 pmBy installing Safari Beta 3 does that overwrite the Safari 2.0.4 that comes with Tiger?

If you really must keep it then move the old file out of the application folder and then install the beta. Just make sure that you rename the old version before moving it back to the apps folder.
However I see no reason that you need the old one the Safari 3 Beta ROCKS.

July 7, 2007 at 3:39 pmMost people wont be able to tell a difference, but it is a bit quicker, Also the way the search feature works in the new version is GREAT.

Have a look at the apple discussions.
For now, uless you “have to” IMHO – don’t install 3. -

July 11, 2007 at 5:31 amLucky you then,
I am one of many for whom the mail plays up while Forwarding a message with an attachment. The attachment appears in the FWD, but not the message text itself.
I am not dissing the Beta, but thinking back I wouldn’t have installed it.
Better wait for the next update.https://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1187&start=15

July 11, 2007 at 2:53 pmBy using the uninstall utility that is in the Safari 3 Beta .dmg folder, you can roll back to the previous version.

Hasn’t helped. We tried Safari 3, it kept crashing on a new Intel MBP. The machine also opens the applications window every time we power up the machine, which it never did before. Nothing can get rid of that. Of course, all the other issues with other programs reported in 3 still remain…
Removing 3 and going back to 2 does not eliminate that window opening. The autofill option also no longer works, so we have to type everything in manually in web forms now. Nice.
