[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)   \

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.

Going to close this since we have released. Please let us know if you still run into issues. Definitely there is lots of improvements needed on the browser.
