Please excuse my noobness... Just got my n900 3 days ago.
After installing the Browser Switchboard App, my homescreen widgets (twitter, facebook, etc.) no longer open correctly. It looks like the path (http://xyz) is the problem.
How do I fix??

Do you need more information?

Do you need more information?
- The default browser is set to Fennec (or anything other than MicroB, really).
- Immediately after booting the device, no MicroB "browser" processes are seen.
- Immediately after booting the device and before opening MicroB for the first time, links in applications open in the chosen default browser (not MicroB).
- MicroB opens when you select the Web entry in the menu. Two "browser" processes are seen.
- When you close MicroB, the two "browser" processes remain running.
- After having opened and closed MicroB, links in applications open in MicroB, not the selected default browser. (This is a bug in Browser Switchboard, if true)
Did I understand you correctly?

Can somebody without this application installed check how many process ID's are running while at least one browser window is opened?
New flash (PR 1.1), except for eMMC:
1241 user 39964 S /usr/sbin/browserd -d
1439 user 3936 S /usr/bin/browser
1440 user 31636 S /usr/bin/browser

My preparation:
1. Install browser switchboard and firefox
2. reboot
3. Switching default browser to firefox
I always used the option "faster browser start".
I closed firefox and did a reboot using the hardware button.
The pidof and ps command are showing:
Now I closed firefox.
I started the browser switchboard dialogue again and set the default browser back to microb.
Than I was clicking onto a bookmark on my desktop and microb was starting instead of firefox. The page the bookmark was for was opened AND the bookmark page of microb too (Thats a little differece to the "normal2 behavior of microb: Without switchboard installed only the requested website would be shown, not the bookmark/start page of microb in a second window).
Output of pidof and ps:
Now I am closing all open microb windows.
I hope I could help you providing the information above.
I have to remark that from the users point of view everything works like desired. From the systems point of view I can not estimate exactly because I'm not sure when and how much processes should run.
Again thanks for your effort! Feel free to request more information whenever you need.
Ciao jukey

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.

- switching to fennec
- switching to microb

For Fremantle users, there is now a 3.1-2fremantle1 release available on Garage and in Fremantle extras-devel.
The only change in this release (as compared to 3.1-1fremantle2) is a change to make debugging output less noisier and easier to read, which is intended to help the ongoing effort to fix launching and closing MicroB in Fremantle builds.
Diablo users: there is a 3.1-2 release, currently waiting to be built by the autobuilder, which works around a problem (maemo.org bug 8806) which was stopping 3.1-1 from going into extras. (There are no functional changes between 3.1-1 and 3.1-2.) Assuming all goes well, this should end up in Diablo extras later today.
