Hi All, I'm not sure whether it's possible to downgrade from Safari 6.1 if you're running Mavericks, where this is Safari 7.0, but people who have been running Mountain Lion who want to revert to Safari 6.0.5 have been able to reinstall the operating system from the recovery partition by pressing Command+R on startup. This boots up from the recovery partition, and replaces the stock Mac apps with the versions in the recovery partition, and does not affect your third party apps. I don't remember how accessible this process was, since I made a bootable USB drive for both Lion and Mountain Lion. Apparently, Time Machine backups may not easily work here, since you'd have to also fix the bookkeeping of your currently installed apps. And I don't know what happens if you try this under Lion.
This is one of the reasons that I like to make full bootable clone backups periodically. Apparently, quite a lot of people don't like Safari 6.1, since there are many posts in the Apple Support forums from people trying to roll back.
