the clue is in the title...any time i try to add a bookmark in browser it crashes and i get the following error:

I have cleared all caches and data and whatnot but the problem keeps coming back. I'm using OpenDesire 3.1.0.
Try a different ROM perhaps?
It might be the rom. Have you reported it to the dev?
i figured it was most likely a rom-side issue but just wanted to check. i just got my first android device so the only other rom i have tried so far is leedroid which uses the HTC browser and that works fine.
any suggestions for other precautions i should take before reporting a problem with the rom?

I got the same error message yesterday when trying to access the bookmark when I'm on the web via the menu setting. I am using the t mobile stock android 1.15.110.11, and the onboard browser, I don't know what's going on. It was working perfectly before. I've even tried loading the bookmark widget onto the home screen and it' telling me that there are no bookmarks. So i logged onto the web and added a bookmark, which i was able to do, but when i tried to go into the bookmark, it came up with the same error message. As a last resort, I removed the battery and rebooted the phone, but to no avail. If you find a solution, please let me know

i noticed that if you open the history menu rather than the bookmarks menu, and then add the bookmark by highlighting the star on the history menu, you can add your bookmarks without the browser crashing. not an ideal solution but it works.
Hi all,
After the latest 4.0.4. update I have noticed that the stock browser is not working correctly. Some sites don't load at all in the stock browser but appear fine in chrome for example.
touch.facebook.com for example does not work in stock anymore. (can someone confirm please?)
Also m.facebook.com now appears as a text type site in stock browser, but as a graphical app-like site in chrome.
Whats causing this difference? Can I work around it? Stock browser worked fine in 4.0.2 etc.
I'm having trouble with the stock browser not loading mobile websites since upgrading to 4.04. I do not have the request desktop site checked. I have looked through the browser's settings, but there is nothing I can see that allows me to change what the device is reporting (ie desktop, mobile or tablet). It worked fine on 4.02 for me as well.
Mine did good when i was stock 4.0.4 anyways why dont you guys try google chrome? Its awesome

log out of fb.. and log back in, its a bug on fb's end.
Mine has nothing to do with FB...never use it. In my case it is to retrieve an electronic boarding pass. THe page that comes up says "This link can only be opened from a mobile device. Please click on the link from your mobile device to obtain your electronic boarding pass."
The link originates from an sms text. As I mentioned, it worked fine prior to 4.04. Even trying to check-in used to bring up a mobile site, now it brings up the full site.
I've like 99% moved to Chrome from Browser, but from my basic usage of Browser on 4.0.4 it works just fine (before I disabled it again).
Download ics browser + .. I never looked back.

After installing OTA 4.2.1 update, andriod browser closes frequently. There is no dump option. Occurs intermittantly on multipe sites, not associated with specific actions. Will occasionally reoccur when page reloads on app restart. Almost like the home button is pushed.
Also noticing skewed text when scrolling. Maybe related to images on the page? It will be a rectangle of streched text occupying less than the whole column width. I'll post an image, if possible.
Anyone else experience this soft crash issue issue? Could it be related to the static nav buttons (which I do not like)?
Tried freeing up memory, to no avail. Thinking of trying a factory reset next; if I can figure out how to get the 5G of Fast Burst photos off the dang thing...
Thanks in advance!

It seems that is enough disable the JavaScript in the browser options

It's not only the stock browser.
The backtrace suggests the problem may be in
Code:
/system/lib/libchromium_net.so (net::HttpCache::Transaction::DoCacheReadData()+151
Since it is a segfault in WebViewCore it will appear in every app that uses it, including the stock browser and dolphin.
The bug appears on multiple devices, and also on JB 4.1:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40784
resolved..more or less
Thanks for the good information. Did not find anything about this in the mainstream media. Wonder how widespread, and if not for most, then what the difference is: build, app install, Google account settings, or something...
Unchecking "Enable JavaScript" under Browser Settings\Advanced seems to have solved this issue. Facebook mobile pages do not load *tear* Gmail also fails w/o java. That's a deal-breaker for me, as I use browser for some email tasks.
Using Chrome as second browser works, but having history, bookmarks in two places and two running apps/caches is not ideal. I would switch to Chrome, but I'd miss some of the Browser features, like save for offline reading feature.
Also no longer noticing the text rendering issue and the browsing seems snappier.
Hi, after a little time (1-2 hours, i don't know it exactly) that I don't enter in xda-deverlopers.com website it requests me to sign in even if I selected "Remember me" on the login form and i didn't log out. I use Chromium, I tried to wipe my cookies but it's always the same. The only reason I thought is that when I enter with the Android app it closes my existing session. Ideas? Thanks.
I don't get logged out when I use the XDA app, it might be different with newer versions.
Anyway, in Chromium: Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > "Allow local data to be set" should be checked.
Also check you're not clearing your cookies (either directly or using a 3rd party program).

Nothing of these... :crying:
I block only 3rd-party cookies, but it's only google/youtube stuff. forum.xda-developers.com is allowed.
EDIT: I notice now that 4 cookies (__utmc __bblh __bblogedin and __bbsessionhash) expire when the navigation session is closed.
I have the same problem with Chrome, too.

I'm experiencing the same problem as well. When I close my browser & then try to get back to XDA, I'll have to log in again, and this has been happening for probably about a year now. It's quite frustrating.
Same issue here, started noticing it in the last couple of weeks. I looked at my cookies and see that "xdaloggedin" cookie is set to expire in 15 min by default, regardless if Remember Me is checked.
Using the latest stable version of Chrome.
It seems a Chrome/Chromium-related bug. My laptop with Opera successfully keep me logged in after 1 day.
Inviato dal mio Sony Xperia Sole attraverso l'app ufficiale xda-developers
yup same problem here on chrome
gotta add my 2 cents:
i'm on PaleMoon (FF source) and i have to log in every time i open the forum in the browser :/
any solution for this frustrating bug?
I also have this problem, but...
Every time I start Chrome or idle for some time and visit the forum index (http://forum.xda-developers.com/), it appears that I am not logged in. If I click "Forget password", it will go to the "Forget password" page, but then on the top-right corner it says I am logged in. After that if I go back to the index page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php) or whatever page, it will continue to say that I am logged in.
But then if I go back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/, it says I am not logged in, not until I do a complete refresh (Ctrl + F5) then it says I am logged in again.
It is even stranger that if I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and press Ctrl + F5 before clicking on the "Forget password" link, it will continue to show that I am not logged in.
* Note the subtle differences in links
Ya the same problem happens on my chrome I have to login every time even though I click remember me...

Same thing happens to me in Chrome, but it seems fine in IE. I think I'd rather carry on logging in than use IE though...

I just started having this problem in Chrome, too. I agree, I'd rather log in constantly than switch to IE.
Though, I have to say, Chrome is becoming somewhat unreliable. Just yesterday, Chrome froze when ebay tried connecting me to paypal to pay for a purchase. IE handled the same interaction just fine. That should always be the low end of your bookmark: "Do better than IE."
...same for me but as soon as I click on any room then it recognize me as logged-in AND
after 20 seconds
--- if I click back on my XDA favorites shortcut it keeps me logged-in
---- if I click on the forum home-page icon it recognize me as logged-in
I've been having this issue since I started using the forums, and I use Firefox exclusively, so it can't be a Chrome-only issue.
i get logged off only if i check forums via xda android app (which is terribly slow after last update). ohhh i use firefox
Hey guys, try clearing your cache in the browser you're experiencing the issue. I've had this problem as well, but seemed to be resolved after clearing cache/cookies.

I've had this issue on both Firefox and Chrome for a long, long time. I've never understood why my login is not persistent but have just lived with it... 'til now.
I'll try the above fix and see what that does for me.
Is anyone having issues with some apps getting pushed back to defaults.
Examples of this is when using Samsung browser(which is stock) every few days my home page reverts back to google as my home page
I also use Verizon's messenger, I set a back ground and change the text bubble colors and shapes and a few days later they revert back to default, it's driving me crazy. I exchanged my phone due to a faulty charging port and this is happening again on this one. Please notice if this is happening to you, I thinking it's an OS issue but it's really hard to tell. Thanks for any input into this issue.
So this happened to me on 2 different A50 phone, you telling me this is not happening to anyone else ?
well what can I say but, keep an eye on your Samsung browser home page if you don't use the google.com default. I'm sure it's not only me this is happening to

This was happening on android 9, now I got the android 10 update and the same thing happens on android 10. I use the Samsung browser and every other day my home page default changes back to Google. Com, this has been happening since the first day i used the phone. Is this happening to anyone else. I am gonna try using firefox to see if this still happens. Let me know if you are experiencing this. Thanks
Just use firefox or chrome

have you updated the apps?
I received the android 10 update, updated all apps. I am on the stock android 10 there should be no reason my Samsung browser should change my custom homepage back to Google default every 2 days or so.. There should be no reason to use chrome or firefox, i am using the default browser. This is the second A50 I have owned since September and they both did the same thing. I have a Samsung tablet also without this issue. So what's causing it any ideas? This is just Google embedding itself into every facet of our lives, Google, facebook, Twitter it's slowly taking over everything including sensoring everything that don't meet their political agenda... think about it. Social media is ruining our country. Thanks for your replies.
