Hi all, I'm having a problem with browsing using ICS+ Browser and the TF201 Dock. Whenever I use certain keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t/ctrl+w/etc.), the browser starts opening every link in a new tab. For example on reddit or xda, clicking next page will open that in the background. I have tried changing agent mode, toggling open in background, restarting browser app, clearing cache. These seem to fix the problem temporarily until I use the shortcuts again.
I am using Thumb keyboard, but changing that to ASUS or android doesn't seem to help either. If I only use shift+space or space, it doesn't seem to have the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Ive been trying out numerous web browsers and am finding that every time I go back to the home screen to do whatever and then decide to open up my browser again, its opening up a new tab every time. I press the home button to go back to my desktop if that helps any. Im finding I have about 10 tabs open. It never used to do this, and want to know how to get it to stop. Every browser I have tried recently does this. Im not rooted and just running the regular rom.
Im also noticing when I use the stock browser it always refreshes every time I open it.

Go to browser settings and there is an option called "open in background" it needs to be UNCHECKED
Open browser-hit menu key-scroll down to settings-scroll down to "open in background"
It is unchecked. But im still getting new tabs popping up every time I open a browser.
All of the browsers I use are opening up a new tab every time I go to use them. Plus, the regular stock browser keeps refreshing every time i open it. this all started this morning.
any ideas?

I had the problem.
The problem was the enabled option "SiteAdvisor" in McAfee Mobile Security.
menu..settings...applications..manage applications...find browser..clear cache and force stop. try that
I've been using numerous web browsers and every time I go to open my web, they open a new tab. I'm finding a dozen open tabs. Its becoming an issue since it's draining my battery. Thisi
Weird... if it were a computer I'd say you have malware.
Its really annoying. Even the stock browser is opening new windows every time I click it. Then it usually crashes.
Any ideas as to why this would randomly start like this?
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?
I have been using Dolphin HD.
Sometimes app closes itself. It wasn't like going back to home screen by pressing home button because it did not restore pages.
Therefore, I changed it to Boat Browser.
However, I was not able to find an option to set always use desktop view in this browser.
Miren browser was ok but I frequently saw black screen whenever loading a page.
So my questions are:
1. Is there any way to use desktop view in Boat Browser?
2. Does anyone know why my Dolphin HD closes itself?
Thank you.

I use Dolphin and have not had any issues with Force Closes. Perhaps you should uninstall and reinstall, or clear data from the app management menu. Did you install from the market or side load? (I installed from the market.)
I had similar problem too, go to app management and clear data / cache. It stopped all the crashes for me
To get to application management use tgps_launcher which if you've lost it is available here http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/tgps_launcher.apk
Oh and as above I installed it from the market so it's the latest update.
Thanks i have cleared cache. Lets see what happens

How'd it go for you?
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
