A month ago I posted an item A Bookmark Trap?... noting that the new item "Clear Bookmarks" on the webOS browser preferences list was an accident waiting to happen. This item precedes the familiar items Clear History/Ciookies/Cache that have been in previous versions of webOS.
Well, the future is now and the accident has happened!
A couple of days ago I was having lunch in a restaurant with free WiFi and something was wrong with the connection. After a bit of fruitless troubleshooting, I decided to switch over to the mobile hotspot on my Pre2.
As it turned out, trying to connect to the phone was also fruitless... and the TouchPad was nearly unresponsive.
I managed to open preferences in the browser and intended to clear my history, cookies and cache to see if this basic troubleshooting move might get things back on the right footing.
Alas, it was not to be... My first automatic/reflexive swipe at the preferences list blew away my list of browser bookmarks.
Gee, thanks, HP! I couldn't have done it without ya!
