Annoying new Google problem

[woohoo]

Yep, i have the same issue, did a quick Google and nothing obvious about fixing it.

Yep, was the same here. Win 8.1 and Firefox 25.0.1

Seems to have got better recently so maybe the .0.1 update fixed it.

Do you seriously not know what IE is (especially in the context of this thread)?

Assuming you just had a brain fart, it's Internet Explorer.

What do you think?

Wow, replies! Ta. The blank page address is the original long Google request. Bit surprised no reports on Google. There are similar problems but not exactly this one.

Maybe due to IE changing browser detection method? Causes Another minor popup bug with IE11 that you get on some pages, eg Daily Telegraph, "Scanstyles does nothing in Webkit/Firefox/Opera".

What's Internet Explorer?

I can confirm that this is happening to me on both IE and FF. Very annoying and I am surprised that Google hasnt fixed it. The only solution seems to hit back again and hit forward again. Sort it out Google !
