Switch engine option found, following instruction from much earlier in this thread I edited /home/user/.browser to make "hidden=true".
Now I have back scrolling with finger drags on Wikipedia pages, thanks to Opera.
i have closed all browsers and using GPE file manager to search for this file, and can't find the .browser directory. i am able to see my home/user/.fonts (only after explicitly typing in the path). but when I try home/user/.browser I get an "invalid directory" error. Is it possible that I don't have one? Should I create one?
Am i missing something?
Is anyone else have a download issue with the new Mozilla browser? When I try to install, it 'hangs', resets and then fails...perhaps too many people downloading? I have the new firmware...maybe I just need to wait a little while and try again?

I don't know if GPE uses the standard Nokia abstraction of the file system because if it does, it will not see it. Also, .files will be hidden. If GPE honors that, it won't be seen there either. You would be better off just opening up an xterm and editing it that way.
I found something that's very frustrating after installing this new browser. I need to input Chinese so I have been using the SCIM IME maemo port. It replaces the default virtual keyboard so this could be related to what I am having right now. When using the Mozilla browser, whenever I click within the browser window, even the scroll bar, the SCIM input window will come out. Switched the engine back to Opera and it's gone. Very frustrated right now...

.browser is not a directory, it's a file. I gave up trying to figure out how to edit it via the gui, and just used vi in an xterm.
I for one welcome the fact that Nokia is releasing early beta and pre alpha (rtcomm communications) software. That enables users like me who were using even less stable apps to really squeeze the most out of the IT.
I agree. This is more in line with the general opensource community and will help with the concerns over lack of communication. Personally, I generally prefer to use the latest & greatest, even if there are minor bugs. I'm sure a lot of others use opensource software for the same reason (well, as one of their reasons). To me, a device using GNU/Linux should be in constant OPEN development, and this appears to be the right direction.
