Lost Bridge Browser

Hi,
After updating my PB to OS2 and Curve 9360 to Blackberry Bridge to 2 I can no longer see the PB bridge browser in my PB. Any ideas how to get it back? Curve was updated first.
Thanks,
Art

The bridge browser is not gone per say, if you have the latest Blackberry Bridge, then when you are on the phone and open a website click on the bb button then there is an option to VIEW ON "playbook name", and it will then open the browser on the Playbook with that page
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

LOST BRIDGE BROWSING WITH 2.1.0.32 UPDATE- NOW GET CARRIER WARNING NOT ALLOWED

has this happened to anyone else, my carrier is Cspire and as soon as i upgraded message comes not allowed. This has always been the best feature of the PlayBook. With this bridge update the carrier can detect bridge browsing.

Hey tbord,
This is by design as the native Browser provides the same functionality when bridged. The Bridge Browser is present when connected to a BlackBerry® smartphone associated with a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server in order to allow browsing corporate intra-nets.
Thanks.

Bridge Browser Missing

The Bridge application works well but the Bridge Browser Icon is missing. All the rest of the icons are there and work fine but I have no Bridge Browser Icon. Is it different from the regualr browser icon on the playbook? Do I need to activate something on the phone to get the browser to carry over to the playbook?

I don't think that's the issue. From what I've seen, there is no longer an icon for Bridge Browser but I noticed Bridge Browser now appears to be automatic. Turn off WiFi and tethering on your Playbook and try loading a page. It should think for a second and then load running from your BlackBerry connection through the Bridge, but it won't tell you it's doing it. I tried it this morning because I was thinking the same, that I had lost Bridge Browser but sure enough it worked.

Bridge Browser = "Cannot Download Corporate Files"

I Have ATT, got bridge app through work around, connects great, everything works except the bridge browser.. it gets me up to my favorites, but when i try to access a webpage, pops up: "Cannot Download Corporate Files"... Anyone else getting this message? Is this ATT blocking it?

I am also on AT&T--found the bridge workaround, and all worked swell bridged to my torch.
Today, after plugging into my laptop and dumping some photos onto my playbook, I now find that my bridge browers no longer works! it gives me back this same message "cannot download corporate files" with any website that I try to go to.
I called the shiny new playbook support line, and they said they've never heard of this.
They had me delete the connection and bridge software, reboot both, and reconnect. It lost the favorites I had already saved on the bridge browser (so it definitely wiped the old off), but same thing...the browser isn't working and still brings back this "cannot download corporate files" error message.
They said it was probably an AT&T bug and that they are working with AT&T to any day now get the bridge onto the appstore.
anybody else have any suggestions? I was worried that this was a websense corporate IS issue with my company's exchange server, but now it sounds like potentially an AT&T blockage?
thanks for any ideas.

New files not showing up in Adobe Bridge browser

Since mid-October all new images added to "My Pictures" file refuse to show up the Adobe Bridge browser box. This is infuriating!! I've got Photoshop CS2 and run Windows XP prof. Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks, but My issue isn't with the thumbnails..... the new folders are totally missing from "My Pictures" folder, when viewed in Adobe Bridge. I can get around this by opening individual images in the program provided with my camera, and then stipulating I want to edit it in Photoshop... but what a time sucking pain!

I lost my browser window,

I lost my browser window, How can I get it back?

You can't close the browser window. You can close the event library. Is that what you mean? Shift-Cmd-1 opens and closes the library. If something else is happening, post a screen shot of what you're seeing.

Lost My Browser Window

I lost my browser window somehow and can't get it back.
I can't type in any addresses. This must be an easy fix.
Thanks

Mitch,
It may be as simple as going to Safari>View>Show Address Bar.
If that is not the solution you may want to try Safari>View>Customize Address Bar...>Drag your favorite item into the toolbar...(Address and Search)

Bridge Browser and WiFi Browser Issues???

Hey everyone,
I've had my Playbook since day one and I have been having issues that I can't seem to get resolved involving the Brdige Browser and WiFi browser.
On the Bridge Browser I can't browse to any webpages. I simply get a non-descript "Not Authorized HTTP://whatevertheurlwas.com" error message. Ive tried dozens of pages, reset the bridge, to no avail.
The other issue is with the WiFi browser. When I try to login to an Exchange 2010 OWA webmail site, I can't click certain check boxes (they arent grayed out, the clcik just wont function). Also - when I try and navigate to a SharePoint 2010 site I get an "Error - A network error has occured" message. It is accessible fine via an iPad, laptop, and desktop computer but not from the Playbook browser.
Any ideas??

I spent about 3 hours with Support on this last night.
Explanation makes sense...could not verify it yet.
Bridge Browser by default uses "Blackberry Browser" to surf the net. If this option is disabled by BES Admin (assumption here is that you are on BES), you will not be able to surf the net. If you have BIS services also, your Blackberry handset (assumption here is that you are on OS v6) tries to open a site through "Blackberry Browser" and then defaults through "Internet Browser"...which is why you are probably surf the net through your handset without any issues.
To verify this, install OS v5 and that gives you the option of picking the browser for your handset. If you get the same message after selecting "BLackberry Browser" on your phone...the above explanation can be confirmed. I am going to try it on my older Blackberry handset with OS v5 over the weekend.
Solution if the above explanation is verified:
Running the web browser in work mode
If the Allow Browser IT policy rule is set to Yes and you configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service to connect a BlackBerry smartphone to the Internet and intranet, a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet that is connected to the smartphone can run the web browser in work mode.
When the web browser runs in work mode, it does not use the Wi-Fi® connection that it uses when it runs in personal mode. Instead, the web browser can connect to the Internet or your organization's intranet using the smartphone's connection to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. The tablet encrypts any cached data that is stored on the tablet using the BlackBerry® Bridge™ work key.
A BlackBerry PlayBook tablet user can access the web browser in work mode by clicking the browser icon in the BlackBerry Bridge panel on the tablet, or by clicking on a link in a work application. When a user clicks a link in any work application, such as a link in work email messages, work calendar entries, the contact list, tasks, memos, or BlackBerry® Messenger messages, the web browser runs in work mode if any of the following conditions exist:•
No Wi-Fi connection is available•
Web address does not contain periods•
MDS Browser Domains IT policy rule includes the domain of the web address•
Web address consists of a private IP address as specified in RFC 1918•
Value of the Wi-Fi Internet Access Path IT policy rule is set to "Access through BlackBerry MDS Connection Service"
If these conditions do not exist, the web browser runs in personal mode and connects to the Internet using a Wi-Fi connection.
The web browser cannot run in work mode if it cannot access the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.

Bridge browser does not work to browse intranet sites

I can browser our company intranet sites with my blackberry phone but unable to browse the same sites via the blackberry bridge on my playbook.. Can surf other external sites but unable to surf our intranet sites via the bridge browser.
Am I missing a setting? Or is this feature not supported yet?

According to KB26548, it should be able to connect to the intranet sites via the bridge browser. If it's not, I would suggest checking with your IT department to see if they have any suggestions.
I hope that info helps!

Bridge Browser icon missing - even though connected on BES

The Bridge Browser icon has disappeared off my Playbook.
Before you tell me it's OS2 it's not - the Playbook is connected to a BES smartphone, and I've had OS2 since I first got the Playbook and it's only now that the icon has gone.
I've tried a reset, I've tried re-pairing the tablet and the phone. All the other Bridge icons are there and the tablet is fuctioning normally other than this.
Any help is much appreciated.

Bridge Browser icon missing after the upgrade to OS2

I have suddenly realised that the Bridge Browser icon has been missing from my PlayBook after the Upgrade to OS2. My service provider data plan supports browsing and I use to do that earlier on OS1. Now a days, since I am mainly using Mifi device...did not use Bridge Browser....BUT suddenly realised that this icon is missing.....
Any idea what I need to do to get that icon back on PlayBook? and also use it....

It's really funny...The OS2 manual says that there will be an icon for Bridge Browser....but in reality...you do not require any separate bridge browser icon...Browser main icon works for both...wifi connection as well as bridge connection....
I am surprised, why RIM has not highlighted this fact in its OS2 manual.....
Anyways....my problem is resolved....

I lost my browser line on my firefox homepage, how do I restore it?

I've lost the browser address line on my firefox homepage, how do I restore it?

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

After download upgrade to firefox 4 it won't load saying I need to re-boot computer first which I've done 4 times, also it won't let me repair or uninstall or download firefox 3 until I reboot, which makes no difference I've lost my browser. now what?

After downloading an upgrade to firefox 4 the computer shut down and restarted, but firefox wouldn't open, saying I needed to shut down and re-start the computer first. Which I did again. Same result. So I tried to repair the file but it told me to reboot. Which I did again. Then I tried to uninstall it, but it wouldn't saying I needed to reboot. Which I did again. Then I tried to download firefox 3 but it wouldn't saying I needed to reboot. Which I did again. Now I've lost my browser! How do I get firefox working please?

It seems strange to reply to my own problem, but I'm doing it in the hope it might help someone who's in a fix, as I was. First, let me say that the problem of Firefox 4 being jammed may not have been the fault of firefox; it might have been this cranky vista operating system... but if you're introducing a browser for use on a cranky system, you need to tailor it to that system.... After I posted this problem, I tried a system restore to just before the firefox 4 download, which re-introduced firefox 3.6 on my programs, but it was still jammed and blocked. .... Then a friend recommended a free download: Revo Uninstaller, which will force uninstalling if necessary; and after an initial protest, Revo got to work and removed all the firefox files.... Then I re-downloaded firefox 3.6... and amazingly: it works! Even my tabs and bookmarks have been preserved, although I don't know how!.... For the future: if mozilla can't overcome this problem before they force firefox 4 on their users, then if it jams again, I have been advised to go to Google Chrome- which I don't want to do.... So, do, please, Firefox, give us a fully workable and user friendly system before you force us to go over to it [Firefox 4, that is]. Thank you so much, in anticipation.

Tethering or Bridge browsing

I did so research last night after running into an issue with a website that I log into with a password for work.
Some sites such as the one above won't work with bridge browsing (I cant explain exactly why, but it has something to do with the way sites are compressed through your BB before they arrive on your Playbook through Bridge browsing)
It was neccessary for me to activate tetheringI checked rates with my service provider, 3 cent a MB so the odd time this is neccesary its no big deal.
The site works fine on wi-fi, as they don't get compressed then, Just through tethering. So if you have an issue on bridge brwosing, you might want to go this route
