So ive noticed if i have a webpage opened (or even multiple) and i leave the browser for something (make a call, text, etc) the open webpage(s) will be gone and it will load my homepage.
Never had this issue with any of my android phones...
Any ideas\suggestions?

I just installed Firefox version 4.0.1 on my DroidX2 and it keeps causing my phone to reboot. I am able to open the application, and the home page loads. However when I click the address bar and the keyboard appears on the phone, it locks up for ~ 1 - 2 minutes, and then it either automatically reboots or I have to pull the battery. I am using the default keyboard.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it only me?
I haven't tried Firefox on my X2, but I had the same thing happen on my DPro. I could never get it to work. Give Dolphin HD a try.
I tried Dolphin on my original Droid, however I heard you could share your bookmarks across Firefox, so I can have the same bookmarks at work, home, and phone. That would be a nice feature. Is there a way to import bookmarks from a desktop into any browser for an Android?
Hey everyone,
It seems as though every time I exit the browser while a page is loaded and I open a few other apps, the browser always reloads. I was wondering if there was an app that keeps the page saved even after you open several other apps in the background. I've seen this type of things in various apps such as GTA 3 (It's always running in memory so you can always go back to the exact same state as you were 10 minutes ago) and N64oid (same thing - you can always go back to the same state as you were even after opening numerous apps)
Thanks,
Mosh
My vs985 is on CM12 (12-20150221). I first noticed this morning that in the dolphin browser, I cannot click on links to browse to pages. If I do, nothing happens. However I can long click on links to open a menu showing "open in new tab, open in background etc.". I can also click and type in the address bar, but for example when I pull open the dolphin menu, I cannot select anything in the menu! I thought it was just dolphin but weird clicking behavior seems to be happening in other apps. For example in the Amazon app, I can search but cannot click on any products to see details. Firefox seems to work more (I can click on links). This was working fine over the weekend so I am confused. Youtube, Gmail seem to work fine. Could it be some kind of bug that only effects certain types of web displays like that might be behind the scenes in Amazon app and Dolphin? I've searched around but cannot find anything similar reported. I will continue to test....
UPDATE: I thought I had rebooted, but had not, anyway this seems to have fixed.... weird....
I have very little data on my plan and don't use my phone a lot for internet so wondered if it's possible to set my START page to Google, for example.
Every thread I find about Chrome, those settings aren't there any more.
Can't find any for Firefox.
Can't find any for the default browser.
I just want the browser to start up EVERY SINGLE TIME with the blank Google search page rather than reloading the last tab I was in.
Thanks!!!!
Hello,
if you are using Chrome or Firefox, you need to close the tab, if you don't want to use he browser. If you will start it then, only the blank Google search will open.
No, if you are using Chrome or Firefox, it reopens the tab you last had open every time you reopen the browser.
I want to close the browser no matter what tab I had open and have it open only the page I want. It's easy to do on a desktop, I cannot find out how to do it on mobile. It reopens the last tab every single time I reopen the browser. I do not want this.
Why do you don't just close the tab?
You mean press home every time I exit the browser? Because I don't want to have to bother to do this. I just want to set a default start page. It can be done on the Blackberry no problem but Android doesn't seem to be able to do it any more.
No, not home. Just close all tabs by pressing X.
But maybe we should wait for another person, who knows this better.
what not in the settings
how is taht possipole due
no i think you didnt search well
in mine stock browser its in settings>>>start home page and there you can edit the url of the start page
The system built in web browser... i don't know what it's called but it's whats used when various logins are needed ... it's causing me nothing but grief. Even if I set another web browser to default, this stupid built in thing opens for authentications and it doesnt work. Other devices I have do a similar thing but don't cause problems.
How do I delete this system browser and force it to open say Firefox for web-app authentications?
Why not simply deactivate it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If i do that, nothing opens when an authenticating link is pressed. It just crashes to home screen. Also, I see there is a Android Web View Beta in the playstore, and I activated that. It doesn't seem to do anything different (I also deactivated the original one).
