Hi aileen1,
This happens when your browser is full of frequently-accessed page that cause you to get this error. You can use a private browsing window and press the corresponding keyboard shortcut:
Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: Command + Shift + N
Once done, if it works, go back to your previous browser and clear your browser cache so the system can start fresh.
Otherwise, you can try switching to a different browser.
