Okay, that's where my understanding of what happened departed from reality -- I was expecting that the default browser stays something other than MicroB, and that MicroB was being launched from the Web menu entry (which on Fremantle should still be launching MicroB, even when the default browser is something else).

The xterm output is nearly the same as in the step before:

Code:

~ $ pidof browser
1853 1852
~ $ ps|grep browser
 1186 user     40232 S    /usr/sbin/browserd -d 
 1713 user      3336 S    /usr/bin/browser-switchboard 
 1803 user     60132 S    /usr/sbin/browserd -s 1803 -n RTComMessagingServer 
 1851 user     40232 S    /usr/sbin/browserd -d -b 
 1852 user      3936 S    browser 
 1853 user     30640 S    browser                                              
 1887 user     55716 S    /usr/sbin/browserd -s 1887 -n browserui 
 1894 user      2092 S    grep browser

There is definitely a bug here -- we should be killing those two browser processes after MicroB closes. I'll upload another build soon which should make debugging this a bit easier.

From this point in the procedure, you can change the default browser back to Fennec (without rebooting), and then see where links in applications go -- they're supposed to go to Fennec, but I bet from your description they'll end up loading in MicroB.

And thank you for sticking with this -- not having a device myself, it's very hard to debug this problem without the level of detail I'm getting from you.
