This  happens in Desktop edition as well. A different browser is not the issue.

That seems to have worked...it crashed the first time after updating and starting a new return, but on the second restart it seemed to be fine...thank you so much!!

I have this same problem and I can't even get to the online tab or sign out, the error box won't let me click anything.
