Any Gurus on here could do with some pointers

What would you like to do with it? I've been using it for a while now

I'm having troubles with Firefox, it's not syncing my bookmarks to both Android devices. Everything else such as tabs, history, etc syncs fine however, and bookmarks syncs fine between my desktop and laptop too. Tried reinstalling but that didn't help... Maybe I really should just try to use Chrome on the desktop... Why can't all browsers use a universal sync that works across all devices?

Thanks. Installing now.

I have no idea why I can't search for it! Strange.

Dolphin browser update, but it's ruined text sizing for me. Text with a thread is huge for some reason!

Mine updated and installed just fine.

The new features work really well, especially like the pull down to refresh!

Argh so it has! How annoying! I've reverted backed to the previous version

Apparently it's a 'feature'

Is there an option to disable conversation view in this new version?

Philtor · 4 Jun 2013 at 00:25

Just had a quick look in settings and can't see anything relating to conversation view so don't think you can.
