If you need a PowerPC plug-in

If you have an Intel-based Mac computer and you need to install a plug-in designed for PowerPC-based Mac computers, you can use Safari with Rosetta to improve compatibility.

Important:Using Safari with Rosetta causes Safari to load webpages more slowly.

To use Rosetta:

  1. Quit Safari if it’s open.

  2. Double-click to open your computer’s hard disk.

  3. Open the Applications folder.

  4. Find Safari in the list of applications, and select it. Choose File > Get Info to open the Safari Info window.

  5. In the General pane, select “Open using Rosetta.”

  6. Close the Safari Info window.

  7. Reopen Safari.
