I guess this must have been an issue with using internet explorer

See here for problems using non webkit browsers with openhab:

openHAB crashes non WebKit browsers. Normal?

I’m running openHAB 1.8.2 on Windows 10 using the demo files. I’ve displayed the classic UI using MS Edge and MS Internet Explorer 11. I expected some non-conformance (IE fails to show the “Back” buttons) but it’s worse than I imagined. Within a few clicks (opening the Weather group), both browsers cease functioning to the point I have to end the tasks. I’m surprised to see the “non compliance” is so extreme it causes the browsers to lock up. Is this normal behaviour?
