Q: Problem with safari's cache in ios 5

I am having the same problem. 

I am having a worse problem since upgrading my Ipod touch 4 to IOS 5.  When I try to start Safari by pressing its button, I see a blank browser window for about 1 second, and then go right back into the home screen.  I tried  pressing Settings,

Safari,

Clear History

Clear Cookies and Data,

but that didn't help.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm having the very same issue. Quite annoying. This is definitely new behavior with iOS 5. It seems to be more of any issue on my new Verizon iPhone 4S than on my old AT&T iPhone 4...

Same here, I thought it was me, but I'm not been able to clear cache of home screen webapps. Even if I delete the app shortcut. Any advise?

Thanks

I have the very same issue after installing ios5.

partial solution: download the Google Search app. it has an integrated browser that, at least for now, is functioning much better than Safari

Same problem here, on ipad 2 ios5.

Same problem on iPad.

Same. iPad 1 on iOS5.

I am having the same issue (iPad 1). I first thought it was Safari was using the web pages that were there when I upgraded to iOS5. Having deleted the cache and cookies multiple times, still no resolution. If I close safari, open, navigate to site, choose article, then hit back, the page I see was as it was several days ago.

Interesting issue this one. If only clearing the cache actually cleared the cache :)

I just picked up a new iPad2 (with iOS5, of course). Same thing is happening to me. I have a home screen webapp link that I cannot make access the current version of the page. Nasty, nasty bug. Is there a good way of bringing this to Apple's attention?

I went to Settings/Safari/Advanced/Websites and deleted the specific website, and the problem seems to have gone away, at least temporarily.

Add me to the list, IPAD v1.

Being new to the apple world, I'd like to ask a question.  We all seem to be reporting issues and there is no reply from apple.  Don't want to step on toes, but that being the case, what value is there in posting.  Thanks.
