Yes, AdBlock Plus has some quirks that badly affect microB, specially 1.0.2 version which I found almost impossible to remove by conventional means.

rm -rf ~/.mozilla/microb will remove everything added to microB in the user space, basically reverting it to what it was when you first started it (you'll loose all the settings, bookmarks, passwords...) so you'll be starting with a clean state (unless you installed some extension that stores itself outside of the user space).

Stop that.

Also, Google has 1.2 million hits over this and I myself have a few tricks up my sleeve. Don't confuse reinstalling with "removing all trace of web controls". IE can be reinstalled, as in, all settings reset, all histories erased, all associated files fixed/updated/restored, etc right down to the point where it's fresh as in out-of-the-box. Reinstall != uninstall + install.

Also, pointing out to another browser on another platform where you KNOW it's integrated and laughing is less than helpful.

If you have browser switch...delete that and retry...I have a similar issue when I installed the browser switch app to switch default browsers...See if that helps

This worked for me.

i discovered that the browserd process seems to hang and consumes 99 percent of the cpu wich resulted in very fast battery drain. i removed the directory and it solved my problem

Thanks, this also worked for me. I was having problems with browser not processing cookies properly, and causing URL redirection error.

One thing: this does not erase browser settings and bookmarks, as was mentioned in another post here. Some of the browser settings are in

/home/user/.browser

and the bookmarks are in

/home/user/.bookmarks/

However, my cache size was changed to 5MB (from 20MB) when I removed the microb directory; everything else (settings and bookmarks) appears to be unchanged.
