Also, a plug-in that is not 64-bit compatible will not load in Safari if Safari is running 64-bit. So having a 32-bit plug-in installed on your system should cause you no harm other than wasted disk space. What you need to do is remove the plug-ins from these locations:
/Library/InputManagers
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins

Will that clear out all the plugins? I noticed that one of the plugins do not work in 64 bit mode. But that plugin does not show up. I want to ensure that the program is running as it was designed-64 bit. I like the other plugins. They seem very handy. By the way, thank you for your help.

Most (I believe all) Safari plug-ins are located in folders outside of the Safari application. Unfortunately not.

That means deleting the entire program and installing a new Safari from my Snow Leopard disk. Could I just do a clean install of Safari?

If you don't have the uninstaller anymore, you can download DeliciousSafari again. For the other plug-ins, you can try removing files from /Library/InputManagers, but that could affect plug-ins for other programs besides Safari. It's probably best to ask the author of each plug-in how to uninstall it. DeliciousSafari comes with an Uninstaller.

Click-to-Flash works fine, because it never did anything hacky in the first place, it uses the documented plugin APIs like it's supposed to. Firebug Lite works fine, because it runs as JavaScript within the browser, there's no plugin or hack. Most of the rest are InputManager hacks, which are always in danger of breaking with even minor point releases of Safari, and which won't work at all in Snow Leopard, unless Safari is set to run in 32-bit mode. Over time, hopefully these developers will find alternate/better ways to implement their functionality. 1Password's blog post here is of interest: http://www.switchersblog.com/2007/08/the-end-of-th-2.html Steve — no need to be afraid of _everything_ in the article.

I sure hope you redo this article shortly, to reflect what can be used with SL. I'm afraid to use anything from this article due to the comments I have read.
