I didn't mean to revert. I was trying to simply reinstall the OS to restore Safari. I ran the 10.10.1 installer and it reverted the OS w/o a whimper. Whew! 10.10.2 was creating problems. Win-win!

Glad it worked for you and is good to know, but why did you need to restore Safari? Personally, I'd try a bunch of other browsers before reverting the OS. Today, I can easily do without Safari if need be.

So the Safari bugs in 10.10.1 are more tolerable than the current Safari bugs? Good to know, I guess.

Although I use Chrome for most things, generally I use FireFox to print labels from PayPal. When that screwed up yesterday, it still didn't work in Chrome but did in Safari for the first time ever. PayPal support (the punchline to any joke you can think of) wasted 20 minutes of my time talking me through "workarounds" that he knew wouldn't work until the programmers fix the problem including trying it in Chrome (still doesn't work -- never has).

It takes a special talent to be a Paypal support rep. But what on earth is going on with Safari? I finally gave up on it and started using Chrome. What a difference. But it's a real shame.

I know. It's even screwier in iOS 8 (if possible). Fortunately, Chrome in iOS 8 works pretty well, too.

I'm in Mavericks. Lately in Safari if I click on a link to an Apple support page, often times the page is completely blank, but the same page comes up fine in Firefox!
