I thought it was the normal behaviour until yesterday when I tested my site in Chrome, then I saw the beautiful "moving" effect when scrolling. In Safari, nectar slider stays always fixed when scrolling, even choosing the parallax option.
That effect is intentionally disabled in Safari due to performance issues - Chrome/Firefox/Newer IE's are more capable, but some Safari versions were crippled by the parallax.
If you want to enable it on your site just open the nectar-slider.js file located in the js folder and delete this line:
Is there a way to replace this function on a child-theme instead of modifying core theme files?
I have noticed that by disabling the "Smooth Scrolling" the crippled to which you refer disappears. The "Smooth Scrolling" not only affects the Nectar Slider, but all animation effects in Safari.
Followed your instructions and everything seems to be working with disabled smooth scrolling.
