Menu bar differences:Firefox and Safari

[Diem]

The forum menu bar in Safari looks different from Firefox. (Same username, same time). Some extra buttons are in Safari, like "Mark Forum Read". See attached screenshots

what java machine is safari using?

[Diem]

How do I find out?

In my Control Panel/Add Remove Programs list, I have Java SE Runtime Environment 6, Update 1. Version 1.6.0.10.

Can't find any other Java versions on my computer.

Probably J2SE 1.4.2 and J2SE 5.0 (as ported by Apple, not Sun). I'm not confusing Java and JavaScript here, right?

Mmh, I don't have the extended menu bar. Neither in Safari 2.0.4 (OS X 10.4.9) nor in my outdated Mozilla browser.

I believe the menu options are JS-driven but the key factor is that the browser reveals to the server that it's second-class in nature and will not support the scripting - and thus is delivered a different page.

Firefox plugin: NoScript will let you simulate this too

I'm using safari but i don't have 'marks forum reads' on the menu bar and also the donate buttoon only shows up when i am viewing a thread its not there when i am in the front/home page of EF

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm running both Safari and Firefox on Windows.

(Everything is fine on the Mac OSX platform.)

So you think the newest browser in the world doesn't support scripting? I don't think that's right.

Except possibly this posting which points out how to fix vBulletin to correctly handle this new browser:

Hi David,

I've made that change. Not sure how it will affect things though. I never even knew those options existed!
