Back when Safari 6.0 came out, I updated to it but wasn't happy. At the time my laptop was still under warranty. I took it in for service and the tech deleted 6.0 and reinstalled 5.1.7 for me. This occured about 1 year ago.

Lately, I have been noticing terrible performance in Safari. It has become slow, twitchy, glitchy, unsmooth when scrolling, etc…so I decided to update to 6.1.1. Well its no better performance wise, so I would like to go back to 5.1.7. I have the download manager for it, and I did what the tech did a year ago to first delete 6.1.1. I deleted the Safari folder in its entirety, exactly how the Apple tech did prior, which is located at:

/system/library/stagedframeworks/safari

I then deleted the Safari folder found at:

Finder, click Go, hold option, click Library, delete Safari folder.

Next, I emptied the Trash Bin.

The problem is that when I run the 5.1.7 download manager, it says it worked but then when I try to launch Safari it does not work.

Anybody got any ideas?
