[Bug]: browser not working

[x66ccff]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the troubleshooting document at https://docs.all-hands.dev/modules/usage/troubleshooting
• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug

I try to ask the agent Please goto('https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/') however the browser only become about:blank and the log keep reporting

AgentFinishAction(outputs={'content': 'Too many errors encountered. Task failed.'}, thought='', action='finish')

But finally the agent get the web page by using the IPython

Current OpenHands version

docker run -it --pull=never    \
 -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=kk-oh-env  \
   -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u)   \
  -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE  \
-e RUN_AS_OPENHANDS=False \
 -e MAX_ITERATIONS=1000 \
 -e LLM_NUM_RETRIES=20   \

I think we have just solved this bug here: #4226

It's too recent and it's not yet part of a release. If you wish, you can:

• use the same docker command, except the image on the last line: ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/openhands:main (it will be unstable at times!)
• set up a development version to use more easily whatever you like or apply fixes directly: https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands/blob/main/Development.md

Please note that the browsing agent is still experimental, and it's possible there are other issues too. As far as I know, we have some plans to revisit it and improve it.
