    1. Is it possible to delete the history option? I've looked around on my BB and online and can't seem to find a solution. I don't like having it displayed, nor do I like it predicting what I am searching for in the browser.

    2. Is it possible to run my BB on moxilla firefox? I use this for my computer and love it. Anyway I can download it as my default browser?

    3. When I open the browser icon, I get a page that displays my bookmarks, history , and the space to type in an web address. Can I change this to somehow open to Google search? Right now I am having to select Google in my bookmarks, then search. Is this how it has to be done?

    AH, I know I know, I'm still such a newbie. But I really appreciate all the help!
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the quick reply Chaz!

    I cleared the history as you said and it worked. Will it stay this way, or it that something I will need to continue doing?

    Bummer about the firefox

    I did what you said about making it my homepage and it didn't work. Is a reset in order afterwards??

    LL...Open the page you want as your home page. The go to Browser Options>browser Config>Scroll to the bottom, click use current. When you click the back key it should ask if you want to save.

    You just have to keep deleting your history if you don't want it. Menu>Options>Cache Operations, click on "Delete History"

    In Menu>Options>Browser Configuration you can change Start Page to Home page and change your home page to http://www.google.com/m (the "m" will give you the mobile version)

    Did you open the page you wanted as your home page? And you click use current. Did it ask if you wanted to save? And you restarted your browser. That's weird, works for me. I even tried changing mine and all was well. Hmmm.... Maybe a battery plug is in order, then retrying.

    I cannot change my homepage from the software download page for facebook. It is stuck as my browser's home page with no option to rename the home page. Any thoughts?
