I've installed a number of browsers on my Desire and am having a couple of issues. (The Desire is unbranded with Froyo and the browsers are Opera Mobile, Firefox 4 Beta and Dolphin, plus the default.)
Flash only works in the default browser. Am I missing something that enables Flash content in other browsers? Although Flash has always worked in the default, I've installed Flash 10.1 from the Market, but that made no difference, and I've also clicked through to install missing plugins for at least one of the additional browsers, which takes me to an Adobe page saying Flash is not available for my platform (go figure).
Every link I click on asks me which browser to use. Every time I click a link, I get a "Complete action using" dialog, listing my browsers (normally minus Opera, though occasionally the list differs). I can't seem to stop this and it's driving me nuts. It's as if the HTTP request goes through the OS rather than the browser itself, giving me the option every time. Telling it to always use the chosen app for the action has no effect, so either it's not remembering that or each request or URL constitutes a different action (!)...
Is my only option to uninstall other browsers? I'd rather not, since it's the only way I can see of having the option of browsing either mobile or standard versions of the same sites (generally I want the full versions, but some things, like the BBC iPlayer's controls, are unusable in full mode). Ideally I want to have a second browser if for no other reason than using the iPlayer in mobile mode, but that requires me to have Flash running in it and for the sake of my sanity also requires me not to have to go through a dialog for every link/action I click on...
Thanks
