Hi David, OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10 are the last versions available. Snow Leopard is no longer supported. It is an outdated OS and won't be updated again. Unless you upgrade to a newer OS X you will continue to have problems using Safari no matter which version of Safari you have installed.
For your Flash Player issue: 1. Completely uninstall and reinstall Flash Player. Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS <http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html> 2 Then download and run the installer again. http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx. dmg For your Gmail security issue, the only thing I can suggest is use Google's Safe Browsing for Firefox browser <http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/safebrowsing/> Cheers, Ronni > On 14 Dec 2014, at 11:25 pm, David Noel <[email protected]> wrote: > > -- 1.
