    weird one here, my browser is suddenly loading the last page i viewed regardless of whether it was closed or not.
    i really dont like this feature (for my own reasons:pac:)

    anyone know to disable it?

    things i have done recently?
    installed loads of apps
    upgraded to stock (rooted) HTC 2.2
    upgraded to less stock (rooted + apps2ds+) HTC 2.2
    installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, uinstalled dolphin hd

    cant think of anything else that might be relevant, this is really annoying me tho

    Both, installed dolphin, same issue. Might restorer from backup tomorrow.
    Seems to be easiest easy to fix issues

    In your browser press menu, windows and then 'x' them all closed and it should go to your home page then next time it opens.
    Technically the browser doesn't close, its one of the many apps that stay active if you close out l of it with the back button.
    Only way to close it is with a task killer app liked atk.

    I don't think it is a fixable issue, I'm sure it does that so you can switch apps by holding the home button. TBH I'd be lost if it didn't.

    Android kills it after a while if it isnt used just like all apps

    Even more technically the process does close but reverts to the state in which it was before it was closed once reopened.
