Which version of Safari is it?

You may find that it simply isn't very well supported in Safari.  
Unfortanately as great as Wine is, it's not a universal Windows 
replacement (yet).  Application support seems to get better with every 
release but due to the amount of Windows applications out there you may 
find that it may take a while to get supported.

Anyway, if it's just the looks you're interested in then this may be a 
good alternative... https://foxdie.us/

It's a set of Safari looking themes for Firefox.  It does include a font 
which may need installing but it's certainly worth trying.

Other than that this guide will give instructions on how to add Safari 
like functionality to
Firefox (note: the first plugin iSafari theme is no longer available so 
you'd have to use the above theme)...

Hope this helps.
