Safari 4: show the Debug menu

The command for showing the Debug menu in Safari 4 is the following:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

Safari 4 (beta) vs Firefox for debugging

While I am updating a web site, I came up to a strange problem: I created a flash file in order to write the email address of my school and avoid spamming. The problem was that some pages were displaying the flash file fine, but some others did not. I first tried to use Safari (Window->Activity) in order to troubleshoot the issue but I did not get any useful error messages.

I then tried Firefox and the error message that I took, helped me solve my problem!

Hotmail.com and Safari Browser

Today, a friend of mine told me that after updating to Safari 4 beta on his Tiger system, he cannot access his account on Hotmail.com.

He also informed that after downgrading to Safari 3, Hotmail.com continues not to work!

I told him to try Firefox and, voilà, Hotmail.com works!

Xcode 3.1.2 and Safari 4 (beta)

If you have installed Safari 4 (beta), like me, you may have noticed that Xcode does not work any more!!!

This will not happen in all Xcode versions. If you have already installed Xcode 3.1.2 (if not just install it!) then everything will work just fine! Read this Knowledge Base Article for more information.

I installed Safari 4 beta.

Although I do not like using beta software, I already installed Safari 4 beta on both my machines.

I also had to execute the following from Terminal.app (to get back the previous Safari tab behavior):

• defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO

as well as the following (to get the loading progress indication in the weblink bar):

• defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool NO
• defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool NO

Does the above image remind you of Opera Speed Dial?
