Yesterday the browser on my kindle started reloading tabs that I had already closed. I tried clearing cookies, cache and history but if I let the fire sit for a while then open the browser these tabs still show up. Anyone have this happen and know how to fix this problem?
Try force closing the browser and reopen it.
1. Click on the Gear next to the Battery and WiFi icon and then click "More"
2. Then go to "Applications"
3. Go to the Dropdown menu and select "All Applications"
4. Scroll down to the "Browser" app and select it
5. Click "Force Close"
Then reopen the Silk Browser

It crashes usually when I'm submitting a reply to a forum making me lose my whole letter. But it's not limited to just hitting the submit button.
Does anyone else have frequent browser crashes or know what might be causing it?
No. I have only had the browser crash once or twice.
Since the update, I've been having lots of browser freeze-ups in the stock and dolphin hd browsers. The browsers don't crash, they just freeze for several seconds. But yesterday my stock browser crashed about three times when I was trying to pay bills. Did you get the 3.2.1 update? If so that could be the culprit.

This happens to me all the time with Dolphin HD and the stock browser:
The error that pops up offers to force close or to wait. If I wait, the error disappears and the browser continues as if nothing had happened. It seems to happen when I try to scroll or click before the page has completely loaded - i.e., when the loading line is still displaying.
Is that the kind of crash you are experiencing?
I have been trying Opera Mobile for a couple of days, and it has not yet crashed on me (crosses fingers).
No, I don't get any kind of error message. I just get kicked out to my home screen and when I open the browser again all my tabs are gone.
Yes, I did download and install the latest update but these crashes were happening even before the update.
Try something along these lines
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications (and go under "all" tab)
Now, look for the internet browser app there and click on it. Some info on the app should pop up (size, cache, data, etc.) Now click on "clear data" and confirm. (Note, clearing data will do just that, clear ALL user data on that app) now relaunch the browser and try to recreate the crash...with any luck, this will have fixed it

Every problem I had went away when I installed Opera browser. No more crashes. No more stuttering, choppy YouTube videos. Working select text, copy, and paste. No more bumping the wrong links or accidently closing on-screen keyboard because I hit the spacebar wrong. No more opening windows because my finger accidently strayed across the screen. Everything just works now. Boy am I glad I tried Opera. If you're having any of these issues I suggest giving Opera a try.

I wish I would have listened to you sooner but I was getting no error message. Oh well. Better late than never.
I have rooted my kindle fire and update to 6.2 version. Then I uninstall some apps for amazon(I didn't uninstall the amazon kindle app). However , today ,I find that i can't read the book in amazon kindle.
Can anyone help me?
Just a guess since you really don't say, but if you are not using the Kindle Launcher (ie using something else like Go Launcher ... )... If so, this is a known issue. click on the Kindle Launcher, go to books and your books should show and load properly.

I have tried to enter the launcher which installed by amazon. However, there is no response when i open a book in the shelf of the BOOks or Docs.
I really want to know how to resolve this problem.
I don't have that problem. all my books load just fine when using Books from within the Kindle Fire Launcher.

Thought you don't know how to do it . Thanks all the same
Yesterday evening, I took another kindle fire from my friend and checked the application one by one.
If you want to use the amazon kindle to read books, do not uninstall the app "Amazon kindle fire ","Device plat form".
I deleted "Device plat form" to cause that problem.
Now everything is ok!
I don't understand. If you deleted the app, how did you fix the problem?
I think I screwed up by Clearing Data for that app.
Now the Launcher seems to relaunch itself every few seconds, making it nearly impossible to launch an app, book, etc.
This should work but will not work the same as the amzone reader you got now it will look different but is the same in the long run.
Go to google market and search amazon Then install the Amazon Kindle app. You can open this app from any launcher

For those interested, I was able to fix my problem by setting "Launcher" to the default, re-rooting, then unrooting.
I'm not sure what caused the Launcher glitchiness: installing other launchers, clearing data, or something the first time I rooted. Regardless, it works now!

I copy the app from my friend's kindle fire and install it in the system again. then ,reboot , It's OK!
I had the same problem after rooting, removing the amazon stuff and installing google market. Interestingly, after loading google market, I went to 'my apps' and there was an update available for kindle. I installed the update and now it launches without needing the amazon launcher.
Reinstall update 6.2 manually, I had this issue as well. (next time dont uninstall, freeze and see how things run.) hope this helps.

Just thought I'd chime in since I found this helpful, and in the process found a fix for another issue.
I just recently rooted my Kindle Fire and was having some issues viewing the Android Market on it, and went to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24312196&postcount=17 to resolve that issue.
However, after turning on my device the today, I was unable to open PDF's from the "Device" section of the DOCS tab. I would click a PDF, it would appear to open, then the screen would turn gray with the word "kindle" in the middle, and nothing would happen. I backed all the way out, powered off the device, powered it back on, went all the way back to opening the PDF but this time "Amazon Kindle" wanted me to register. I input my email address and password and clicked the "register" button, and some tabs appeared at the top of the screen, and that's it. I backed out all the way again, rebooted my Kindle, and when I went back to the DOCS tab, all of my documents were gone!
I frantically opened ES File Explorer and navigated to the "Documents" folder, and all of my PDF's were still there. I was rather confused. I did a couple more reboots and this same issue persisted.
So I was having two issues.
1. "Amazon Kindle" was not opening PDF's.
2. The "DOCS" tab was not displaying anything.
How did I fix it? After deleting the cache from the "Kindle Fire" app via Settings --> Applications --> All Applications, I opened the Play Marketplace (or whatever it's called now), selected the Amazon Kindle app, and selected "Uninstall" which prompted me if I wanted to uninstall all of the updates. I selected yes, and also deselected the "allow automatic updating" option, then backed all the way out.
Everything works perfect now.
Anyone who could be so kind to guide me in the right direction on how to restore the searchbar? Hopefully with as little huzzle as possible.
Was fiddling around and managed to deactivate it..

Scroll down to Google Search, then Enable
Hope that helps
Actually its not in the app list anymore. I lost predictions from SwiftKey aswell. Tried to run the googlesearch.apk from system. This fixes the SwiftKey issue, but still no searchbar.

What Will T said is correct. I can suggest that you scroll to the bottom of the 'All' apps list and you should see it there. That list is sorted with disabled apps at the bottom.
OK I got it fixed now. But to clear things up if someone else encounters the same problem as me:
In the app list, google search only gave me the option to "force stop" and "remove installed updates" aswell as "remove data". I was not given the option to "enable" it again. Tried to install from system and reboot with no effect. Tried to force stop the app and then suddenly the enable option appeared.
Is anyone else running Chrome Beta? For some reason when I go to settings the app crashes.

Yeah, that was happening to me too. Clear the Data from Settings->App-Google Chrome Beta
On your PC go to your Google Dashboard and
In the Chrome Sync section, Stop Sync and Delete Data from Google
Following the instructions at
http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1181035&topic=1693469&ctx=topic
to disable encryption and then re-enable encryption using either your Google password or a new paraphrase.
I'm pretty sure that those were the steps I took to get rid of the FC but I can't remember totally as I was really sleepy. Either way, I'm not getting that issue any more.
I tried this a few times without success. I was able to access settings immediately after signing in with the link at the bottom of the screen, but couldn't get to the settings through the menu

Same here...I just use either Maxthon Browser or Dolphin HD browser....they are both good...hopefully the Chrome will be ready soon.
I never got it to work. I even tried deleting my app data and going to settings without logging in and it locks up.
The "Browser" is retarded slow at connecting to the internet. It's as if I were on dial up even if I'm on WiFi. What gives? Once it connects to a page after literally 2 minutes, then it is somewhat okay. All my other apps that use internet are fast expect the google search app only because it uses the browser to load pages. If I just use FireFox instead as my browswer, its fast as lighting. I love the google app, but there is no way to default it to use Firefox as my default browser. Or can I? How can I get my factory browser to be normal?

Hadn't noticed this at all... can you provide additional details?
What ROM (or Android version) are you running?
Have you tried clearing cache/data for the browser app?
You can set any browser as default... Usually when you install a new browser the start using it you will be asked if you want it to be the default. If not, try this:
1) hit Menu then go to Settings > Apps > All
2) Click 'Browser', then click 'Clear Defaults'
3) attempt to open a web link from anywhere- even from within the stock browser. You'll be prompted asking which browser you want to use, and whether you want that browser to become your default.
I'm rooted on the stock ROM. I'm still on the original version too. It looked way too hard to update it. I didn't know how to do what you said until you told me. I got it and cleared everything. The stock one runs better now and I was able change my default browser also! Thanks! It was Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage apps > All > Browser
