1. What you report is a bug. It should work with Safari. It does on my
machine.
derrida:~ bret$ irb
>> require 'watir'
=> true
>> Watir::Browser.default = 'safari'
=> "safari"
>> Watir::Browser.new
=> #<Watir::Safari:0x11218e8 @scripter=#<Watir::AppleScripter:0x111b344
@typing_lag=0.08, @app=app("/Applications/Safari.app"),
@document=app("/Applications/Safari.app").documents[1],
@js=#<Watir::JavaScripter:0x111b31c>>>
>>
2. If you don't want to use FireWatir at all, you should be able to just
install safariwatir and commonwatir (directly).
derrida:~ bret$ gem uninstall firewatir
Select gem to uninstall:
1. firewatir-1.2.1
2. firewatir-1.6.1
3. All versions
> 3
Successfully uninstalled firewatir-1.2.1
Successfully uninstalled firewatir-1.6.1
derrida:~ bret$ irb
>> require 'watir'
=> true
>> Watir::Browser.default = 'safari'
=> "safari"
>> Watir::Browser.new
=> #<Watir::Safari:0x113a3d4 @scripter=#<Watir::AppleScripter:0x1133ed0
@app=app("/Applications/Safari.app"),
@document=app("/Applications/Safari.app").documents[1],
@js=#<Watir::JavaScripter:0x1133ea8>, @typing_lag=0.08>>
