Hi all,

I have been spending some time reworking (removing) the sticky element 
disabler (aka Scroller) in the ATH. 
(https://github.com/jenkinsci/acceptance-test-harness/pull/2713) 

The main benifit is that we do not need to run javascript at the start of 
each page load, which needed to happen not just on page load, but on a 
dialog load now in various places.

This JS running hid various timing issues where PageObjects/test etc 
blindly assumed that a webelement was on screen and visible.

removing this artificial slow down has revealed several timing issues that 
I have fixed in various places in the ATH.

So this is all golden, however the new way relies on WebDriver 
Bi-Directoional support from the browser, and Safari has no usable 
implementation of this.

I don't think anyone uses Safari to driver the ATH, and for those that do I 
would suggest quickly switching to firefox which is (currently) the only 
browser we run the ATH on for its own tests.

Does anyone have any objections to dropping Safari support here?

/James
