Can't delete or edit browser bookmarks

On Humble 1.42 and PBJ-OTB...
Like the title says, everytime I try to delete or edit a bookmark in my browers, my phone gives me a pop-up that says I can't. Is there a reason or solution to this?
Thanks for any info!

Stock browser "start" page as bookmarks?

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to set the stock browser's start page (home page) and/or new tab page as the bookmarks page? Kind of like opera's start page? Thanks!

[Q] how to add a shortcut to go to a website on desktop?

Hey guys!
Does anyone know how to add a shortcut on one of the app screens of GoLauncher that will take you to a website? I like mobile web Facebook more than the app and I want to have such a button that'll take me to the site. Any ideas?

I assume add shortcut to a bookmark perhaps, works that way n sense.. should be similar

Yes, but bookmark is in the browser app. I want to access the link like I access other apps....so the link would be on my front screen. Sorry it might be a dumb question, but I cannot seem to find this function.

Hey Okishead.
I don't have GoLauncher, but if its anything like the launcher I'm using (from a custom rom) then you can just find any space on app screen and touch the screen for a few seconds which should bring up a menu. If there's an option for Bookmarks, or shortcut then bookmark that might be what you're looking for.
If not... then ignore this!

damn, I'm stupid!! Bookmarks was under Shortcuts!!! Thanks thanks thanks!!

ICS Problem? How to get apps to open instead of links opening in Chrome Beta?

How do I get dedicated apps (YouTube, Play Store) to open links and not the browser/chrome?
The only way I have found it to work is to not have a browser installed. On my tablet links open up the apps but with my Rezound the browser takes over and by default opens all links.
The settings don't mean anything and no prompt even comes up when clicking a link asking what app I want to use to open said link, it just goes to the default browser automatically.
It like this on three ICS roms on my Rezound I've used.
There is a App Associations setting in the settings menu that seems to be messing up the way that it works.

From my experience...go into the settings menu of the the handset and select apps. Next scroll to your current browser under the applications list and click on it.
Then scroll down all the way and select 'clear defaults'. Confirm. That should do the trick and whenever u click on any link in any app it will prompt you to select an option such as YouTube or browser instead of just opening up automatically in a browser.

That's the deal, clearing defaults doesn't do anything . There is no more prompt, just launches the browser.

Are you talking about opening links with fb? That's the only one causing me problems

Can you make it more clearly?

Did anyone resolve this issue? I also have link association issues unique to ICS as well. For instance, I used to (w/gingerbread) be able to click a video link in google+ then it would ask what I wanted to view the video with (browser or YouTube), now all web links open in the browser only, no questions asked... What is with that? Same with links in gtalk.

Nope it a HTC issue

Issue has been corrected with latest Meanrom ICS ROM... guess it was just annother ICS Virgin Mobile Leak bug...

a quick question

ok, when i click on internet on my one s it always opens the last page i visited, sometimes this is great but most of the time i want to search for something, now ive set www.google.co.uk as my homepage hoping that when i click on internet it will open google straight away but its still opening from last webpage i was on.
is there a way to have my home page open soon as i open the internet please ?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately not that I know of. Unless you close the tabs that you were using before you exit the browser. Or go to the home page manually, and then swipe Internet off Recent Apps.

Ahhh right, that's a bit disappointing........thanks for reply

Why not use the google search app or widget to search... it will open the browser

Close all tabs, open home page. Close browser and it should pop up next time you open browser. That's what I had to do
