Description of the issue: New tabs consistently do not load. Opening second tab at the same URL will trigger the first tab to load.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open New Tab - Enter URL into navbar
  2. The Network Tab, in the Developer Console, shows the request as (Pending) status.
    a. I’ve tested as long as 30 minutes and the request never times out and continues to show the loading icon in the tab with New Tab label
    b. Refreshing the page does no action or loads the New Tab page
    c. Re-entering the URL into the navbar and typing Enter restarts the process.
  3. Open a second tab - Enter the same URL into the Navbar
  4. First tab will initiate the GET request for the page content. Second tab will not load the requested page content and be (Pending) status

Expected result:

  1. Open New Tab - Enter URL into navbar
  2. GET request is initiated immediately and page loads normally

Additional Information: This issue is not URL specific and requests to any URL when opening a new tab can product this issue. It’s not 100% of the time but it’s as often as 75% of the time when opening a new tab. This issue has been persistent for a couple of months. I keep hoping a new version will fix the issue but it has not and I have not been able to find another Community article on this issue.
