I've been having issues where after searching on Google, some sites won't let you go back to the Google search. At least not without multiple clicks on the back button in quick succession .
I finally got to the root of this issue. Currently the third and fourth lists available in Adaway causes this glitch.
How to test it:
Enable third or fourth lists in adaway, apply, and reboot.
In boat browser try this: Google search for "jelly bean screenshot" (without quotes). Click on the page " How to screenshot on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean". Wait for page to load. Click back button. Page stays the same, doesn't go back to Google results.
Does anyone have a solution for this, besides turning off adaway? (I hate ads.)
Enable the local webserver in Adaways prefs. Works for me.

Odd bug this: On stock T-Mobile G2, when I do a google search (using preset google mobile bookmark) I cannot access the second page of results. I also cannot do a new search by entering new text in the search box at either the top or the bottom- I have to go back to the main search page in the bookmarks I have tried this using both the 'next' and several of the numbered page links at the bottom of the page, on wi-fi and 3g, killed the browser with taskiller and restarted, restarted the phone, searched several different terms- all the same. Works fine when switched from 'mobile' to 'classic'.
i had that for a while, but for whatever reason i did a hard reset ( i have downloaded tons of apps and not all of them are compatible with the hero) and since then i have not had it again.
I guess it was one of the apps i had that did it, or just a glitch, but after the reset all is well.

the problem seems to be with google.co.uk, it works fine on google.com
Yeah sometimes I can't even get to the first page of results on google.co.uk. It seems that sometimes, randomly, all of the links just plain stop working. Sometimes I can't press any of the links (images, web, local, page numbers or the search button), sometimes they work.

I rooted the Nook Tablet using adb and NookandZergy, installed the Go Launcher EX, and had no problems until an accidental tick of the "default launcher" box. I know there are several Q and A posts on the subject, but none seem to have my particular problem.
- I seem to have no access to the developer setting or anything outside of the standard Nook settings. I don't see a way to access the developer settings, though when I plug the NT into a usb port, the notification for developer mode does come up.
- I have no "web" access, as in, I have no ability to open a web browser. I believe I may have deleted it when installing the root using one of the DOS options. The same goes for the search function.
- Going through the "library" app, I can see the android system UI files, etc., but nothing that could seem to help. I also can't launch any .apk files. The NT cannot read the file and claims it is an unsupported format.
I know I have tgps_launcher installed, at least I'm 95% certain that I do. I cannot seem to access it, unless I'm unaware of all the ways to do so. I think I've provided all the info surrounding this. If I have to nuke it and reroot, I will, though I would like to avoid that option and am unsure how to do so.
Any help is appreciate. Thanks in advance.
How to switch the default home launcher for HomeCatcher once I've already set it?... This link is in my FAQ >> i would suggest you to read it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately this isn't possible solution, as it requires use of the "search" function. The search function for the NT Home was removed during the rooting process and is unavailable.
For the sake of argument, I tried to look for some sort of search functionality and found nothing. The only option, as I stated before, was to use the "library" app search function. This only displays actual Nook apps, however (Crossword, etc.).

Clever! Unfortunately, that was a no-go too. I went through Nook Friends to get to the google sign-in page, from there I got a mock google.com homepage going and found a download, but none of the ones I tried would work, the psuedo-browser would just crash.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to remove the stock launcher, but my gf actually prefers that interface to the Go Launcher (it's her device, I'm just doing the heavy lifting for her). I think I'm going to cut my losses and do the manual reset from your FAQ. Going with that, are there any launchers that more closely resemble the original Nook Home, or maybe a method of importing some of the icons/functionality of the rooted stuff to the Home? In any case, I'm going to be looking putting AnyCut and/or NT Hidden Settings to have several backups in case this happens again.
Thanks again for your help.

You can use stock launcher and still have an alternative one for when you use it (lets say) and change between them by using homecatcher or another app like home switcher, you may want to go to B&N setting > search> searchable items and check more items there; also in the quick tips section of my FAQ tell you what app to use to add android apps to default nook home launcher.
BTW just checking when i opened the netflix app you get some links there to open browser but if its crashing then you probably have to start from scratch 'cause that's not normal behave anyway.

Had the same thing happen to a friend's NT that I had rooted for him, and besides all that you mentioned "Button Savior" was there but didn't do anything. You are pretty much stuck.
I ended up having to do the 8+ factory resets and re-rooting, and then restoring everything from TiBackup. At least once you have the drivers working on your computer it's really not that big of a deal. I read somewhere that it might be related to "Homecatcher" but not sure about that.

Recently updated to Ineffabilis Deus and have some annoying bugs with the different reddit apps I've tried. Not sure if this is an ICS problem or an Ineffabilis problem.
50% of imgur links display for a split second and then go to blank screen. If I zoom in, the picture comes back.
All youtube links open in Chrome rather than the youtube app. I tried clearing defaults for Chrome. I also tried the "App associations" menu in settings, but I don't see the youtube app as an option for anything in there. I also used to have (on Gingerbread) an option to send youtube links to xbmc, via xbmc remote app, but that's gone too.
Anyone know if this is an ICS thing or an issue with the ROM? I don't think it's a problem with the apps, since the same thing happens on both reddit apps I've tried and I don't see anyone complaining about it in the comments for those apps.
Any other redditors on ICS had problems (or solutions)?
On ICS with exact same ROM and issues using baconreader here.
Will troubleshoot.
Mine shows some, while others do as you explained. I am stock rooted 3.14.

Youtube links won't play in YouTube on Ics or sense 3.6 I don't know which controls what. Something to do with an Apple patent lawsuit if I'm not mistaken
To allow yourself to be able to select apps to launch instead of launching chrome or the default browser automatically, you must uninstall "htclinkifydispatcher" using titanium backup or something similar. This stops the phone from automatically choosing default apps and will let you choose from whatever browsers you have installed (or youtube, if you are trying to watch a video) instead. So far the only issue I've found with eliminating this app is that whenever I try to launch a link sent to me in gtalk, gtalk force closes. Otherwise I am given the freedom of choice of which app to launch when browsing reddit. If you don't care too much about a partially malfunctioning google talk, uninstall htclinkifydispatcher. Back it up first (just in case other apps start malfunctioning, for me only google talk is affected, but it may vary for others) and then uninstall. Freezing it will not work.
Hope this helps

Issue with all direct link static images in baconreader. Animated GIFs or where it renders the website too are fine. Also only has an issue on first load, have to zoom or back out and reselect link to make image reappear. Once cached, the image renders fine on a re-read.
Yet to find any combo of Developer options, Display, or stock browser settings (assuming baconreader may render links with stock browser settings) to address that particular problem...
Edit: Recommend deselecting "Open links in app" in baconreader and in other apps if available, if that issue cannot be resolved. Feedback from other ROM users appreciated. May ask the developer about bug.
Edit 2: Stock browser settings have no influence on the issue, app renders direct link images independently.

Yeah I use google talk a lot but not nearly as often as I browse reddit. It's so frustrating trying to watch a YouTube video in chrome instead of the designated app. I think this problem (feature?) alone makes me want aosp more than anything else about sense on ics. Give me freedom to choose my apps!
I found this problem with baconreader and reddit is golden. It's annoying but but I just double tap the imgur and it shows (zooming).
1. When opening applications from the notification window-shade, they aren't counted as open by the system and hence don't appear in the multi-tasking menu. For example, I'll open GMail from the window-shade go to my first email, click a link in that email taking me to the browser - then when I'm done in the browser if I hit the multi-tasking menu to go back to GMail it's not there. I have to go home, and then launch GMail from it's icon.
2. Different browsers can't be used on a case-by-case basis, unless you don't have one set as default - in which case the system asks you EVERY time which browser you want to launch. The problem is that if I set a default browser (I am mainly using Chrome) then I'm screwed when I come to a page with Flash content (more often than I would like). The only thing I can do then is the cumbersome copying the page address, going home, launching the relevant browser that can display Flash, and then pasting the address in.
It would be nice if I could set Chrome as default but then when I hit a link which takes me to a webpage with Flash content, I'd like to go back a page then perhaps long-press the link and get offered each browser option then (and only then).
Any ideas on how to solve these issues (aside from just using a different browser for no 2?)
#2 - Install "flashify" from the Play store. When you are on a page that requires flash, hit your share button and the typical list of services will come up. Choose flashify and then it will ask which flash enabled browser. It will immediately open that page in the new browser.

Nice suggestion, works just how you said - thanks very much
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....
