Hi all,

Does anybody know how to stop the 5800 browser from opening sites in new windows?

The problem im finding it that sometimes selecting "close" closes the browser and not the multiple window which is very annoying 😡

Yes, I noticed this too. When you let it open a new window, the "Back" button goes away and there is no way to get back to the previous window. I'd love to find out if there is a solution myself. 🙄

There is a way to do it but am not sure how I cant remember. It hasn't happened to me for a while.

I would actually like to know how you can manually open a new window. Say am browsing Facebook but I want to look at something else at the same time I cant I have to leave facebook.

I am not sure for the 5800 XM , but for non-touchscreen Phones :
- Switching between Windows : Options > Windows > Switch between windows . Shortcut : press the 5 - button
- Going back to former Window : Shotcut press 3 - button
The 5800 XM should have an ability like this .
