I am running safari version 6.0.5 and it is running slower than firefox. I have done all the latest updates. The OS is 10.7.5

I am thinking do I need to upgrade the OS. Would it make safari run faster and smoother? Please advise

Try this:-
Menu Bar/Safari/Reset Safari......... Tick all the boxes and click Reset.

From the Finder:-
Menu Bar/Hold down option (alt) key/Go/Library.......... In the resultant window navigate to Caches/com.apple.Safari........... Move files Cache.db Cache.db-shm and Cache.db-wal to Trash.

Quit Safari........ Empty Trash......... Open Safari.

Just with an idle moment or two, I downloaded Safari for Windows. My god it's fast

I normally use Waterfox but I've been having slowdown and freeze problems with it recently. I think I'll have a further play with Safari and might promote it to number one browser.

Further to this. Although I select the "Keep me logged in" type tick boxes on my usual haunts, each time I close Safari down, it forgets my login details next time I use it.

Any ideas please?

If you have "Private Browsing" selected. It will forget "keep me logged in". Otherwise it should behave itself as expected.

Private browsing is off Mick. Still does the same thing

Solved it

Autofill names and passwords wasn't ticked.
