NEED CONSULT ON DESELECTING POP-UP BLOCKER below. Notes for reviewers - I have used Safari for a secure test without disabling pop-up blocker, and it works. The only error I've gotten is when I use it without running TestNav in unsafe mode. With running in unsafe mode, the test launches fine. 
I know pop-ups are not related to unsafe mode, BUT because you cannot selectively block pop-ups in Safari, I am concerned about having admins unblock completely when it works for me. I've researched and asked around, but cannot get a clear answer from anyone. Any experts, please chime in. The instructions for enabling pop-ups are below for now.

To enable pop-up windows for TestNav:

  1. Click Safari > Preferences...
  2. Click Security, and deselect the Block pop-up windows check box.

Note
titleUse Java to run TestNav in Unsafe Mode for Safari

TestNav must run in unsafe mode in Safari. After you trust your secure test website to use Java (as shown above) and enable pop-ups for TestNav:

  1. Also under Safari > Preferences..., > Security, click Manage Website Settings... (If the button is disabled, select Allow Plug-ins to enable it.)

  2. Scroll through the plug-ins on the left side of the window, and click Java. Your secure test website should appear in the Configured Websites field. 
  3. Click the drop down on the right of your website, and select Run in Unsafe Mode. Then, click Done.
