I had this problem. Nice to see it getting fixed so I don't have to fire up crappy Firefox.

Hopefully 5.0 public beta at WWDC 2010!?

Make no apologies for being a big fan of Safari. I have been really enjoying using the 64 bit version in Snow Leopard.

Where are the idiots who will complain about this software update, saying that Apple is neglecting MacBook Pros, Mac Pro, 30" Cinema Displays, et cetera ad nauseam?

:) :D ;)

Wow. Never thought I'd say this, but it does feel a lot faster. Good job, Apple.

Hope this fixes those bizarre horizontal graphic distortions in Top Sites sometimes, when you see distorted images of your screen saver and other stuff overlaid on top of Top Sites... Makes no sense!
