Last updated

Just two weeks after releasing Safari 5.1.4, Apple on Monday launched version 5.1.5 which addresses a minor bug faced by users running the web browser in 32-bit mode.

According to the update notes, Safari 5.1.5 Safari 5.1.5 "contains a fix for an issue that could affect website usability when running Safari in 32-bit mode."

Apple released version 5.1.4 of its web browser exactly two weeks ago, which brought a litany of enhancements including faster JavaScript performance and HTML 5 video rendering fixes.

The minor 46.4MB update is available via Apple's dedicated Safari webpage or through Software Update.

Note of interest: The version of Safari provided with Mountain Lion (5.2) removes the 'Activity' option under the 'Window' tab, therefore preventing you from being able to manually download certain files (such as streaming videos).

If the ability to do this is important you, find an alternative means before updating to that version.

I noticed that, too. I can't find a work around in Safari or find a solution with Firefox or Chrome.

I ran into this recently and found a keyboard shortcut posted on Apple discissions. Of course, I am not at my computer presently and cannot think of it off hand. Perhaps someone else will post. If not, I will try to later.
