I asked this question over at the ricks forum a couple months ago, and never got an answer, so I'm trying here.
Using the Browser tab .... with firmware version 0.9.2371
I don't use the browser tab that often, but have found it useful for popping up a weather site to show some local weather radar maps.
One problem though, is that I can't seem to get it to remove some of the navigation window contents from the web page I'm trying to view.
For example, when I go into the browser tab, I have the URL of the weather page entered in the url block, as my home page, and it automatically goes to that URL when I go into the browser tab. However, if I hit either the menu or exit buttons to remove the browser navigation menu from the screen, the menu itself goes away, however it leaves the contents of the URL block on the screen, which of course obscures part of the weather page I'm trying to view. I cannot seem to get rid of this block no matter what I try.
It seems like this didn't used to be the case, so maybe the firmware got corrupted a bit, and a reload of the firmware is in order, but I'd really like to avoid that if there is a workaround.
It's also possible that I've corrupted the URL lists in some way, as I've manually edited the URLs by grabbing the files via FTP, editing them, and re-inserting them back into the Azbox in order to avoid difficult typing of URLs with the remote.
Anyway, I'm just curious whether it's just me, or if anyone else has noticed this behavior, and or knows of some way to remove the URL block from the screen. Perhaps this is a firmware specific issue that doesn't happen with other versions, but I've been reluctant to change versions until a version comes out that either does high bitrate record/playback or blind search.

, pressed exit, everything cleared.
