Is there any reason you can't look at the firmware version on your device and tell me the actual number? It's there displayed on the Device Information page of the settings. The reason I want it is because far to many people come to this forum and say "the latest firmware" and it turns out they are several versions behind.

It broke Dropbox. You click download and the box pops up asking If you want the file but it never completes. It worked fine before that particular update.
The "firmware that was released before the one in the title of this thread" for the Glo HD was 4.9344. As I've stated several times, on all of my devices while running 4.9344, or the almost identical 4.9349, the browser download worked perfectly for all sites I tried.

Kobo broke something. Dropbox has not changed anything. The file does not complete just like when the size issue. They fixed it then broke it again.
Any particular reason you have decided this now? I searched for recent references to Dropbox because I couldn't remember what others had said about using it. The last references to Dropbox is a thread from you stating that Dropbox had changed and no longer worked. You started that thread about a month after the firmware you state broke the download was released. I'm now confused as you stated in this thread that you downloaded from Dropbox, updated the firmware and then the download didn't work a few minutes later. That doesn't add up. Which is it, you immediately noticed the problem but didn't complain for a while? Or you didn't see a problem for a month after the firmware upgrade?

They need to either update the browser completely so they stop breaking it. It's getting ridiculous.
Yes, it would be nice if it worked perfectly. But, it is not a supported part of the firmware and hence it is low on their priorities. While I am sure they try not to break the browser, if they break the browser while fixing something more core to the device usage, then they will continue with that fix and come back to the browser later. Unfortunately, that "later" can be after a firmware release.
