PlayStation®Network General

just wondering if any one else has been having problems with the web browser since the update, I have always used it quite a bit, even with its many flaws, but since the update it seems to have frozen up on sites that it never used to, and when exiting the browser, seems to take forever to go back to the XMB, with me having to switch off the whole console, then restarting...

so anyone else having problems like this?

I had a few freezes the first day of the update but i have got used to what it can and cannot do after all its not PC browser and i believe this could be an early version. 

I have found quitting the browser while playing video or while pages are loading will lock the console with no XMB icons not letting websites fully load before moving on can also cause problems. 

To be honest this was probably one of the best firmware updates ever i think the new browser is quite handy for quick access currently without a laptop and my PC is a few years old running XP it is slow when booting up.

sort of glad it's not just me then, I'll just have to learn what it can and can't do again, and be careful lol.
Another update for the future then?

I've been having similar problems since the update too. At first there was a marked improvement to the browser's useability but in the last few days it's become painfully slow and keeps freezing (especially on these forums). I've also been unable to get onto Home because it keeps hanging on the loading page and timing out or I get a network error. None of these problems occurred before the update so it's tempting to conclude that it's no mere coincidence. Needless to say I shall be ringing Sony tomorrow.
