I am using the default browser that came on my Samsung vibrant
When you are browsing a web site and want to return to your google.com home page, HOW do you do it?
Is there a one button push to get there like most browsers have.

Menu >> Close Existing Tab, that should create a new session with Default Home Page. or you add a bookmark shortcut for your home page on your home screen.
menu > new window
also, you know the top right button beside the URL is a shortcut to bookmarks right?
H guys,
as the title says ..how do u go to your home page while browsing on your stock browser? I cant find it in the menu nor is there any button or toggle in the browser...
Thanks in advance for any help
Regards..
What you need to do is first navigate to the page you want to use as your Home page.
Once done go to Menu/More/Settings/ and tap on where it says 'Set home page'.
Now tap on where it says 'Use current page'.
Come out of the Browser App, make sure it has been closed down then reload.... you will now see the browser app will automatically go to your new Home page.
easy to do it using my phone but can't manage to do it on the gtab. running Calkulin + Clemsyn. im also using the default browser
I haven't ever used your rom, but I think you just long press the home screen, select shortcut and them select the bookmarked page.
On some pages, but not all pages, the browser back button doesn't go back. It just refreshes the current page.
Very annoying.
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248032
Where some work arounds or alternate browsers are suggested.
Any more current thoughts on this?
I'm running Galaxy Task 10 and have the same behavior with but the Xoom and stock browsers.
Updated my Vodafone firmware about a week ago, now running the BULP7 4.0.3 firmware.
In the previous version of the standard browser, when scrolling down large web pages, you could reveal the task bar at any point by changing to scrolling up. Now you need to scroll all the way back up before the task bar can be revealed. I used to use this lots when wanting to select another bookmark, without having to scroll all the way to the top of the web page. There's a new sidebar that can be switched on at any point when browsing, but it doesn't let you access the bookmark icon.
Anyone have any advice? I've tried most browsers, but settled on the standard one when they implemented the task bar enabling in the last version, would prefer to stick with the standard browser - maybe I'll see if I can hunt down the previous apk.

By "task bar", are you referring to the address bar? It also shows when you press the menu button, doesn't it?
And I don't think my standard browser ever did this. (show the address bar when switching scrolling from down to up) Though, the newer versions of Dolphin Browser did.

I guess it is the address bar, and the previous version of the standard browser certainly made the bar visible when changing from scrolling down to scrolling up, regardless of whether you were at the top or bottom of a webpage. This was the only thing that meant stayed with the standard browser. But with the new version of the browser, you need to scroll all the way back up for it to be visible.

Ah, things are different on the ICS browser from the GB browser. Sorry. I'm unable to answer this question.
Aha, you mentioned the menu button made it visible. I've now discovered if I hold down the menu button it eventually makes the address bar visible. If I just select the menu button I get the menu list for browser settings.
Maybe not a complete fix, but I'll see how I get on with this.
Another tip for you is to hold the back button to get direct access to your bookmarks. Hope that helps out a little.
go into the settings menu then to lab and enable fullscreen and the other option then you can get a action to show address bar from touching the edge of the screen.
