    Exclamation http:// replaced by life:// ???

    I've not seen this problem before on the many times I've jailbroken my iPhone 3GS and I don't see it mentioned elsewhere in the forums. Whenever I touch a link whether it's in an email, SMS message, web page, etc. it pops up an error saying:

    Unsupported URL
    The URL wasn't loaded:
    life://www...


    (sample screen capture attached)

    The only way I've been able to make the links act normally is if I reboot the phone in Safe Mode via SBSettings.
    Has anyone else seen this and discovered a fix?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance...

    Obvisouly one of your mobile-substrate apps in interfering with your Safari app b/c in safe mode it disables all mobile substrate plug-ins.

    Thanks for the quick reply - I do understand it's one of the ms apps, however I was hoping this might be a known issue that someone else might say "...here's what causes the problem and you should disable this app to fix it." Before I necessarily toggle on/off each of my 25 mobile substrate apps...
    -------------
    Found the culprit - Browser Changer (a mobile substrate applet). In BC's settings "Life Web Browser" was chosen as set as the default browser. I changed the default to Opera Mini and now my links work fine.

    Weird thing is I've searched the App Store and Cydia and Life Web Browser is not even listed.
