Stock Browser Crashes

[yankees014]

I have had my phone for over 3 months, and this is the first time its happened.

Whenever I open the stock browser that comes with my droid charge, it constantly refreshes the page on an endless loop, making the browser unusable and it eventually crashes.  Is this fixable?  Is there another solution besides downloading another browser?  Thank you for your help!

this has been happening for the past 2 days on both my droid x2 & my husband's droid x.  we switched to skyfire browser for now but reeeaally want the stock back!

You can reinstall your stock Google browser by going holding your finger in an empty area of your home screen for a few seconds.  An "Add to Home screen" page will come up.  Touch shortcuts.  Then touch Applications and wait a minute for the list of Applications to come up.  Go down the list to Browser or to Google Search if you choose to.  Touch Browser and it will be put onto your home page.

Also consider that you may have to uninstall the other browser you added.

Just did what you recommended, and it seems to have worked.   Hopefully it stays that way...but I was quite impressed with the other browsers I tried in the meantime.

I TRIED REINSTALLING & IT DIDN'T WORK ON EITHER PHONE. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS????????  WAIT, I JUST CLEARED DATA & CACHE & THAT DID WORK!! YAY!!

Thank you both yanke014 and peaced02 for telling me your results.  I usually do not get any response yes or no.  I am please that my idea fixed your problem.

Best regards,
