I was playing around in about:debug in the default browser, and I know I should have backed it up first, but it slipped my mind. Now it force closes when I try to open it. So I was wondering if there is some way to reset it, or if anyone has the apk so I can just replace mine. Thanks.
the apk is in the system dump posted by wes garner

I followed what aloant did, and that worked perfectly.

I got a very strange problem with MiniCM7. Sometimes, the web browsers I use randomly shuts down without any message of a force close or anything like that. Could anyone of you create a web browser if you feel you have time? Is there anything you require from me, then?

Try going to xRecovery > Advanced options > Fix Permissions.
If persist, try using another browser, like skyfire, also you can give us a logcat when force close.

it should not be quiting if fix permissions not work try a fresh install
Factory reset and then install ROM

I have tried all the possible browsers, including Myron browser but even there it shuts down. I don't get a force close, it just shuts down without notice. It freezes for like a microsecond before it shuts down. How can I get a logcat of this?
Edit: I will try to see it fixing permission does it, but what does that actually do?

Give right permissions to app, so they should not FC because of bad permissions, if still dont working, make a clean install as said owain, and be sure ofc you baseband is right.

So ive been trying to find a way to delete these locked bookmarks. Every method I've tried points to a file that's not on the phone (/system/etc/motorola/com.android...) Any suggestions?

Been trying to do the same thing with no results.
Found one that worked. Goto the market and install Skyfire. You can edit the bookmarks all you want. Back on the system default browser, the changes will be applied after the app is restarted. Once the pesky Verizon locked down bookmarks are nuked, remove Skyfire. Viola.

Did this, and now browser force closes when opening bookmarks. nice.
Rebooted my whole phone just in case maybe task manager was stupid and didn't kill Browser fully. Nope...
Edit: And actually, now my phone is randomly rebooting every 3 minutes... the ****?

Lol.
Just use a non stock browser like dolphins hd. Problem solved. The stock browser blows anyway.

That's your opinion. Some of us prefer the stock browser.

I really don't want to SBF my phone just because of this stupid stock browser phail, so I'm just going to go ahead and try out a couple of those non-stock browsers and just delete the browser app entirely...
I've tried Dolphin, but not Aurora. First stop, then
edit: Aurora isn't even a browser?

If you delete the stock browser you will have problems with Voice Search and other google apps.
Also Aurora is not for the faint of heart its Firefox's alpha builds.

Oh right, derp, I use that on my computer Wasn't aware it was on mobile though.
Thanks for that, saved me from actually having to SBF. The reboot issue went away after I stopped using the stock Browser.
Personally, I used an app called Bookmarks Manager.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.bookmarks
I never had an issue after removing them with it, even though I use the stock browser and have other bookmarks.

Use Titanium Backup? I could back up my stock browser for you so you'd be back to its original state.

I don't think it's the apk itself is broken, but it looks for those locked bookmarks when you open the bookmarks tab and when it can't find them, it borks out because of the lack of error handling.
Atleast I think - the bookmarks aren't part of the app so removing them wouldn't break the actual app.

Did you delete all bookmarks that were stored? I did and I had FC when I tried to access the bookmarks. What worked for me was just bookmarking google.com, then trying to access the bookmarks again, and everything was gone except the new google.com bookmark.
That's odd... I haven't seen an FC on the phone after doing the removal. Going in and out of history or bookmarks yet nothing causing any issues.

That may be the root of the problem. I think I read somewhere the stock browser is looking for at least one bookmark.
When I remove the bookmarks, I usually wipe them all out and have none.
Maybe the app messed up the data somehow?

menu -> manage apps -> All (tab) -> Browser -> Clear data.
That should restore your browser back to stock. There is a template it goes by that should also rebuild data with the locked bookmarks intact as well.
I used the skyfire method mentioned in the third post without a hitch. In case it matters, I had two bookmarks of my own already and deleted all of the locked ones.

THIS.
I ran into this problem pretty early on. I deleted all the stock Bookmarks and the browser would just force close every time I opened it. Clearing the Browser app data restored a working browser, and unfortunately the default bookmarks.
I am following the directions on removing the HTCLinkifydispatcher.apk to get the youtube links to open in the app again, but I can not get it to work. I deleted the apk, cleared defaults on browser, and rebooted. Still opens in web browser... what am I missing?
And yes I am rooted.
Clear cache and dalvik cache
Where are these instructions? I'd love to fix that.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I'm interested in this too.
Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675717
However,
"This will break a few things. You won't be able to open any links from the default text app, google talk will crash everytime you try to open a link, and you won't get youtube links to work in stock browser, but all other programs work fine."

I have absolutely no issues opening links in SMS, Google talk, G +, YouTube. Everything works as it should so far. Works in Firefox, stock, chrome, but for some reason not in dolphin

For anybody reading this bumped thread still:
The buld.prop editing is needed too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27079114
Edit: And really the build.prop edit is all that is needed. Makes sense as that tells whether to use the apk's method or not period, not totally necessary to delete it (except out of spite ):

I was entertaining the possibility I could wind up flashing a build.prop mod or backup with those values we're editing left in as default carelessly.
Fallback precaution, ya know? Breaks links in text messages and gtalk, couple other quirks if apk is gone and those build.prop values are still at default.
Would probably realize the change in behavior again and know what happened, but things won't "break as bad" at first, at least.

Ahh I see
I put chrome in system/app in my rom and I got problem to start chrome.
it says missing critical functionality.
I get FC with go keyboard when putting it in system/app.
Everything goes find after I put them in data/app.
what is the problem? anyone could help me to explain it? Thanks.
A little more info would be nice, what phone are you using and what version of Android. Also be aware that Google frowns upon distributing any Gapps in ROMs or any Google apps not included in AOSP such as Chrome. They went after the CM team for this and thats why Gapps are now separate from ROMs.

I believe there are lib files (& possibly other assets) that are needed to push Chrome as a system app.
No. I put the google chrome in the system/app then it doesn't work.
But if I put in the data/app as user application, it works fine.
I am using htc sensation revolution HD ROM. I push the chrome to the system/app.
Probably as spunker88 pointed out, google added some check to see
whether chrome becomes a system/app or not. If it is, it give warning
and quit.
If this is the case, what could be the reason of go keyboard FC?

May be you havent noticed that the Op mentions that it has the Desktop as deffault,it is exactly that function is that we want and dont care if it is Chrome or not.
Now lets see, does the Chrome you mentioned has also Fullscreen in the settings?
well its available from here
but i cant get it working on my note
pushed it into system>app and change permission to rw-r-r still no go.
need some tricks maybe.
It will simply not replace the stock browser in the system even if it does will not run properly,we need an apk.
