    Hi!
    Hoping somebody can help? I have a BB 8830 and for some odd reason, I cannot seem to locate the 'go to' or 'bookmarks' functions in the browser menu....I could swear they were there a couple of weeks ago!
    Have I accidentally changed a setting somewhere? Help!

    Scenario:
    - Launch Internet Broswer
    - Hit menu button
    - Cannot locate 'go to' or 'bookmarks' functions

    Thank you!

    ya know that happened to me a couple of times. Still being new to the BB scene i could tell you what i did. Hopefully it is the same solution for yours. I experience that when i was using the browser but never actually did close it. (it runs in the background).

    What i do (on the curve) is hold alt and the curvey arrow (i think its the back button, don't let go of alt) and scroll through and choose the browser (similar to alt +tab on the pc).

    i then close the blackberry browser (and any other instance of it). Sounds complicated but it really does work for me.

    Then i relaunch the browser and you are back at the initial browser screen and if you hit menu the GOTO button is there again.

    Im sure there are simpler ways but that's what i did. I use the opera browser so i never really go back to bb browser (with the exception of OTA installations) Good luck. Sorry to confuse ya. Hope it works

    I'd be interested in know if this works for you suzucan. I saw some other people with this strange problem.

    BTW, that is the switch application feature you are using. Technically speaking, the browser never closes, but I'm guessing closing it from the switch application tool resets it.

    You could also try a battery pull.

    All you have to do is scroll down to CLOSE. Then re-open your browser and all of your functions are there. It often happen when people are changing their "email settings" icon.

    you can also press g for the "go to" box to pop up. I find that's a bit quicker for me, but i love using shortcuts.

    Oh, man! I've been going crazy with this! The "close" worked fine, and the "g" shortcut is awesome! Thanks so much for the helpful responses!

    Hi Guys,

    I have the same issue, but the solution mentioned did not work for me...any other idea? Should I reset the entire device?

    Thanks

    Wow.... THANK YOU "Bennygoodx"
    The "close" browser option worked for me
    It was so simple too.
    The alt + backspace (or application switch) didn't work for my Bold 9700 unfortunately, but glad it did for some of you. As someone stated before, it obviously closes or shuts down the browser on some of your phones when you use it, and this is probably why it works.
    It's awesome that you all provided with some helpful advice. Thank you both!
