Flexbox in Safari?

I'm a bit confused about flexbox support in safari. According to caniuse.com flexbox is supported (at least partially) from 3.1 onwards. I used the Autoprefixer plugin for Sublime Text to generate the prefixes for 7 versions back however the code below won't work in Safari 3.1.7 and other older versions. Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

#menu-stills-sub-headers {
    z-index: 99999999;
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: flexbox;
    display: box;
    display: flex;
    height: 100%;
    -webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    -webkit-box-pack: justify;
    -ms-flex-pack: justify;
    -webkit-justify-content: space-between;
    justify-content: space-between;
    width: 95.68%;
    -webkit-box-align: center;
    box-align: center;
    box-pack: justify;
}

#menu-stills-sub-headers li {
    -webkit-box-flex: 1;
    box-flex: 1;
}

I'm not super up on flexbox right now myself, but it seems like you have some depreciated flexbox properties, which is probably the problem.

For instance, according to MDN https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-moz-box-pack

Box-pack and box-align are no longer supported by browsers. The flexbox syntax has gone through a couple of revisions, and I think one just happened lately.

Yes but I have used the latest syntax as well as the old syntax and it still doesn't work which is strange. If only everyone had the latest browser :/
