Hi,
Noticed the default browser seems a little less stable after upgrading to Froyo.
On some pages it just dies. Can open the page fine in Opera Mini.
Emailed HTC support and they suggest a hard reset.
Didn't expect that to work and I was right.
Anyone else seen this?
Here is a page which causes a crash for me. Please try it and see if it does the
same on your Desire.

Thanks

I've seen it crash out on some pages. Sometimes just the scroll is completely disabled and unable to be used. A bit annoying to say the least and I've found no fix to it yet.
I have noticed it too, it seems it happens when on a bbc (could be others too) site with more than one flash video content window on the same page.
Yes crashes for me too... seems to be related to Javascript - the page will load if you disable it...
Only seems to happen on BBC pages... only half joking when I say its a deliberate anti-Android measure from the Apple-loving BBC...

Same here. Especially when being brought to the browser via HTC Peep or Seismic.
Same here, have had lots of crashes to desktop with stock froyo when loading www.bbc.co.uk/football
Thanks all. HTC's response of send your Desire back for a repair now seems like a poor answer from them. Did anyone notice this happening before the 2.2 Froyo update?
Or perhaps someone on 2.1 can see if that link crashes now.
This has been happening ever since the 2.2 upgrade.
Wonder if HTC will acknowledge its the firmware, not the hardware. Was fine before. Also, if you disable javascript, load the page, then re-enable it and refresh it'll often play the video without crashing, but as soon as you navigate to another page and try to play another video, it's back to the homescreen!
Odd that they would prefer to get me to send a handset back rather than say... sorry.. it's a bug. S/W bugs happen. As long as they get fixed not a big deal (well no in the mobile phone sector). Planes
I have responded say that I don't believe it's a hardware problem. Opera loads the page fine. See what they come back with.
www.bbc.co.uk/f1 was causing the default browser to quit, but today it is working fine.

I've only seen this on BBC pages so far - there were a couple of threads in the Q&A section about this a few days back (here), but to date I know of no solution other than disabling the plugins.
I've just come back from a month travelling the states and since the official froyo release hadn't come out when I left I have been using Android 2.1 daily whilst in the USA to keep up with the football news at bbc.co.uk/football and never had a problem. Since I got back to the UK and upgraded to 2.2 I have problems accessing this page without getting a crash back to the homepage.
Therefore, I am certain that this is a problem caused by the official 2.2 rom
it's good to know I'm not the only one having these problems on the BBC site. I've been running 2.2 since the OTA launch and have been having no problems until now.
The problem seems to have started (at least for me) some time this week, as I was able to stream some of the BBC F1 content on Wednesday(25/08). It was only when I was trying to access content yesterday (27/08) that this problem started.
Is this happening just with the BBC, or are there other sites that have this issue?
I first noticed this problem on Monday 23rd August (when i updated to Froyo) and haven't encountered it on any other sites yet.
I have also tried the stock OTA 2.2 and a rooted custom 2.2 rom (leedroid) and both of them would crash on the bbc site
I seem to have fixed it for now. I just cleared data from the internet application and no more crashes on BBC pages. You will lose bookmarks so make sure these are syncd with HTC sync 3 first. This may be a temp fix, so let's see how long it lasts.

It's caused by flash overload as was mentioned above.
With the stock browser open go to Menu / More / Settings / Enable Plugins and use the arrow to select 'on demand' from the list.
Flash objects on the page will be replaced by a green arrow and will only load when clicked.
The pages should load ok now. If you have several windows open and try to load a heavy flash object the browser will force close.
It's not a perma fix but plugins 'On Demand' allows you to browse at least.
That's not necessarily always the case here. I only use on-demand and many BBC and such sites are crashing the browser in 2.2 whereas they aren't in 2.1. Now all those pages have embedded Flash content and there is never a crash on a Flash-less page so it might well be an Adobe Flash issue. I had no crashes before the last Adobe update.

How do you disable Javascript?
In the browser Settings there's an option to enable/disable it from there...

It's not just the bbc site,I've got this website where I watch live football online via my desire.it was fine before yesterday,but now when trying to view some of the matches it just crashes and returns me to my homescreen.it was a good thing I didn't do a factory reset,it would've been a waste time.

Anyone having troubles using the google search page on your phone today? When I use the non mobile version the browser crashes. I thin it has to do with the salute to Les Paul they are doing on the front page. You would think the would make it compatible with their own browser.
Sent from my secret place where no-one can find me.
So use the mobile browser?
Yup I have the same problem. It happens on all the browser Dolphin, Miren, and Android.
Works fine on my Evo running CM7 and the latest version of Dolphin Browser HD. Plays music and everything.
Do you have flash installed?

Mines stock browser and dolphin have been crashing when loading non mobile format webpages since last night. Could be totally unrelated but Im not sure
Edit: didn't describe this well. If I try to load the Google page it does this. Not all webpages just Google

Flash installed, updated, uninstalled, reinstalled but no help. I also tried factory reset. Then from a blank state with nothing installed I launch the android browser. Works fine surfing the web, but when I tried to go to the google.com webpage it force closes again. Oddly enough I tried my friends Evo and it doesn't do it. Only difference is that I updated to gingerbread ota and his is still Froyo.
Yes, I have the latest version of Flash installed. And as I said, CM7 version 7.0.3.1 which is Gingerbread 2.3.3...works fine.
since the FB app itself is so slow(as i've read others post) i often use the mobile site on my phones browser.i found out that its different depending on whether you operate a gb rom(its the old style mobile fb) or any ICS rom(the newer timeline feature is available..fan or not..lol)my problem with the ICS browser version thow is that when i "like" someones status or anything it disappears and no matter how many times i click it keeps "unliking" itself...is anyone else experiencing this?its happened on all the ics roms i've flashed.is there a fix?
Funny you mentioned this. Just experienced what you posted about this morning. Liked a few things in the app on my way to work. Once I popped open the desktop site, all the likes are gone. Looks to me like the mobile app doesn't do a thing.
I started only liking after clicking on the post and opening it separately.

This problem may not be exclusive to Firefox, or CM10, or the E4GT, but here goes:
Firefox 15.0.1
CyanogenMod 10 (Alpha 5.3 or any recent nightly)
Epic 4G Touch (black, shiny)
Same issue on other CM10 devices
Every time I launch Firefox and try to open XDA Forums' page with it, it crashes. Or on virtually any other page. Pretty much any page. Any search engine. ANYTHING.
Every. Single. Time.
It's really hard to believe that I've sent probably 100+ crash reports to Mozilla (many of them inadvertently), and that I am the only one encountering this problem. No other threads are reporting this. Firefox 15 seems only to cause this issue under Jellybean, but maybe not. Maybe Firefox just can't load web pages.
But if so, how come there are no other reports of this problem on the interwebs?

Have you tried different browsers instead of firefox? I typically use UC Browser. I haven't found any issues with it yet and works great on CM10. Seemingly Firefox doesn't want to play nice currently. Lol.. I'll download it and test it see what happens. I'll leave ya a message on here. But as I stated, i don't use stock browser or firefox (well on my phone i don't)
One more thing i forgot.. I'll have to flash CM10 tonight when i get home. i'll see what happens.
I'm on the same Firefox and CM10 as the OP and get Firefox crashes on almost every page. I assumed it was Firefox but maybe it's the ROM. Either way, I'm glad to see it's happening to someone else.
I just wanted to chime in to say I have the exact same problem on my HTC One XL with CM10 and Firefox. I'm beginning to think it may be a CM10 issue as our phone hardware should be fairly different.
Its just CM10 related. Im running super galaxy v1.8, it works fine. Sure itll be upstream later down the line once bugs are worked out.

Firefox is bad m'kayyyy
I'm on Phantom Phreakz's CM10 and I bounce between the stock JB brower or Chrome.
I can confirm that this has been happening for a few days on the CM10 nightlies using the Nightly build of Firefox. It crashes whenever it loads a page.

Hi,
We believe this was an issue on our side (Mozilla) and is now fixed on our developer channel. Can you try out a Nightly build now (http://nightly.mozilla.org) and report back if things are fixed for you?
Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

Have you tried to send a bug report to Dolphin Team?
You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.
I often do this to make Dolphin realize my issue and fix it.
You should try it !
