You might want to try a third party browser such as the "Dolphin Browser". Most people, including me, who have android devices, are probably using the Dolphin Browser. It works much better than the stock browser and has many more, handy features that will make your browsing experience much better. Give it a shot, it's free!!!!!! By the way, not sure why you are also using the browser to access Gmail & Facebook. There are great apps in the android market which will allow you to access both of these and they work great. Gmail has it's own native app also. One good Facebook app that I've been using is called "Friend Me".
