Mobile websites issue!

The update introduced a misbehavior with some mobile sites... Sites like macrumors use some sort of forwarding to their mobile forum.. fgbrowser misintreprets those links as AppStore candidates and forwards the link to iOS, however it's of course only meaningfull regarding an AppStore app link. ( to bring up the AppStore )

I've already submitted a fix to Apple hope it's getting approved soon!

Seems like the version 4.2 has always some sort of shortcoming... iOS also hat a very short life on 4.2 and skipped somehow immediately to 4.2.1...

Again I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Thanks @ JN Gold for pointing this one out! (see for reference)

3 Tap Gesture

Hey there,

just read a comment @ US iTunes Store:



I'm sorry I can't reproduce this issue. You don't have to put all 3 fingers at the very same time down the screen. It's quite sufficient to put them one after another.

Please report me if the issue persist, or more people are affected.

Thank you!

iPad Issue; iPhone 4 Issue

I'm sorry to announce...
There are two big issues with the current selling fgBrowser versions.

First fgBrowser Private for the iPad... It crashes immediately. I submitted a new iPad release for Approval, please bare with me.

Second, any fgBrowser version for the new iPhone 4. The status indicator seems there to uses another implementation. See here [stackoverflow] for more details.

I've done a quick workaround to fix the usability, but in respect to look and feel, I'm not happy with my solution. I hope Apple will fix the UIActivityIndicatorView in there "Signaling update".

So again "stay tuned"...

Hey there trusty fgBrowsers,

there is a slight issue with the email text. To fix it please go to your general iPhone "Settings" scroll down to "Multitouch" and open once all the hidden settings for your fgBrowser. (Hit the Multitouch with the lock symbol for the private one) There are some handy settings ready to be set:



- scroll to top: if enabled touch the top of the screen and the current page will scroll to the top
- scroll to bottom: if enabled touch the bottom of the screen and the current page scroll all to the bottom
- right swipe to go back: if enabled a swipe left to right will navigate backwards otherwise swipe right to left to go backwards
- keep history for: automatically deletes old history entries after "x" days or never
- clear only history: delete whole history after restart
- clear favs&history: deletes all information even your favs




The next setting is quite handy if you like to use fgBrowser as a default widescreen browser:

- remember orientation: fgBrowser will come up in the last "frozen" (2 - finger swipe down to up gesture) even if the accelerometer says something else. Quite handy if you prefer surfing in fullscreen widescreen as many of you prefer.
(After launch a locked or unlocked sign will show you if the current orientation is locked in)

- Mail Settings:
Define you default mail text and subject, decide if you like some preview image attached to your mail.
