Can the Dolphin browser be configured so that the toolbar doesnt scroll along with web pages?
As you scroll down a web page the browser toolbar scrolls off the screen. Is there a means of fixing its position?

I guess the reason why you don't want the toolbar to scroll with the webpage is because you don't want to scroll up when you want to type a new address. I don't use Dolphin so I can't tell by first-hand experience, but according to this, you can double tap anywhere on the page to show the toolbar so you don't need to scroll up to type addresses.

your guess is correct - PC browser implementations function this way because it's more intuitive. Toolbars and content are two separate things; the movement of the page shouldn't impact the toolbar. If this happened in a word processor it would be a usability nightmare. Double-tapping on the page doesn't show it toolbar; it adjusts the text to switch between the initial zoom level and a zoom level which fits the screen with word wrapping.– MatthewMay 1, 2011 at 1:30

1@Matt: true, but in a 3.7" screen, having a large address bar obscuring the already scarce screen space is an even worse usability nightmare (people spend more time reading a page than typing on the address bar); usability design is a series of tradeoffs, that's why some people live by a certain browser while others just can't stand it. btw, have you tried the other alternatives mentioned on the page I linked? Otherwise, use the stock browser or Opera Mini/Mobile; I know personally that the standard browser and Opera brings up the address bar when you press Menu button.– Lie RyanMay 1, 2011 at 2:22
Use the hard menu key on your device to get the tool bar back.

you mean the capacitive touch menu button? There's no option to get the toolbar back from there.– MatthewMay 1, 2011 at 0:08
