go into settings, apps, select Browser, and then permissions. Then simply enable "Storage" and you should be good to go.

Edit the Android Virtual Device settings inside your AVD manager that you are using and try starting your emulator with the "Use Host GPU" option enabled, this will help to fix your error with the browser.

For downloading files with the browser make sure you also add enough size to your SD Card option. After editing both settings, start Android and goto: Settings -> Apps -> Browser. (If needed force to stop the browser) then goto permission and enable storage permission to be enabled. This will fix your error with the browser when downloading files.

Make sure that you have set the SD card to have some storage capacity - set it to 2GB and restart the emulator. The browser won't work without SD card storage, in my experience.

Also, be sure to get logcat so you can see any future error messages.

I guess the bookmark data got corrupted somehow. Just go into settings/apps and clear the browser data. You will lose your bookmarks though. At least the browser doesn't crash anymore.
