Returns to home screen when I tap address bar

Whenever I tap the address bar -- to check the address to type in a new one -- the browser returns to the home "Awesome" screen. I would rather it just remained on the current site until I actually navigate away from it.

hello vyskol, this has been a concious design decision on firefox for android - i don't know any way around that. the assumption is, that when a user taps on the address bar, he/she is trying to navigate to a different site. and since typing in urls on mobile keyboards might be cumbersome the awesome-screen with quick access to the most visited sites/history/bookmarks might come handy in this situation...

TS1702 I just updated numbers to newest version and found that numbers quits to home screen when I tap the information icon on "function help", it starts to load the "help" then quits this happens on both my ipad3 & iphone5

2/3/14: I just updated numbers to newest version and found that numbers quits to home screen when I tap the information icon on "function help", it starts to load the "help" then quits. It happens on both my ipad3 & iphone5. I tried restarting the devices but it didn't help.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Mail will not display, screen returns to home screen when I try.

MMail will not display or load up. When I enter the mail icon it instantly returns to the home screen. Therefor mail will not display or show.

The Mail App is crashing on you. You might have a corrupt email, a spam email or an email with a very large attachment that is causing the crash. It could also be a corrupt setting. It's difficult to know that it could be. If you have a computer, log into your email account in a web browser and look for any problematic emails and try deleting them there.
Try closing the mail app completely on the iPad, reset the device and then try mail again.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iPod touch 4th keeps returning to home screen when on the internet

This is a real problem! I can't have more than two internet pages up at one time and if I try to open any other pages it returns to the home screen before thepage has even loaded. I constantly use my iPod for the internet, it's not much use if I can't open more than one page.
I have used the soft reset- holding down the lock and home buttons at the same time- before and it has worked but now my Home button doesn't work at all so I have to use assisted touch, meaning there isn't a way to do the soft reset. Can I do the resset another way?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari amd Clear History, Data and Cookies
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

ATV returns to home screen when Internet connectivity intermittently lost

I'm using Apple TV 2nd generation running software v4.4.2 over WiFi. I can watch about 3-4 minutes of video, or browse the Movies menu for about 3-4 minutes, before being thrown back to the home screen (missing the Movies menu) with an error message saying the Internet connection is lost. Then a couple of seconds later the Movies menu re-appears and eveything works fine for anoter 3-4 minutes. It makes the ATV unusable and it's infuriating. Any idea why:
- only the ATV complains about intermittent loss of Internet connectivity (my Mac and iPhone are on the same WiFi and never have any problem)?
- if there was loss of Internet connectivity for a few seconds, why doesn't ATV play from buffer, or even pause, instead of throwing me back to the main menu?
- eveything used to work fine before I upgraded to v4.4.2?
More importantly, what can be done to fix this?
Many thanks.

Thanks for this. Downloaded istumbler and installed on OSX 10.7. It crashes.
It can't just be a network issue: I have no problem streaming audio and video to a Mac, PC or phone on the same WiFi. And if the ATV software was designed correctly, it should just buffer - not bomb out - in case of an intermittent network issue.

Running ios5.1.1 on original iPad. system constantly crashes and returns to home page when on the web. using safari.

Running IOs 5.1.1 on original Ipad. System constantly crashes returning to the home screen when in internet. Using Safari browser. is there anything I can upgrade or clear to help??

There are a few things that you could try. First try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

From the article which you posted your question from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
