When I click or type in a valid link, I get the message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." I have to reload/refresh the page one or more times until the same page loads.

This happens with small sites as well as major ones such as amazon.com. It happens frequently with many different websites both when typing in a URL or clicking on one from search results or other pages. If I am opening it in a new tab, the page is blank and the correct URL shows in the address bar even though it didn't load. When I get the message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" I have to click okay and then click on the link again or click refresh. Sometimes it loads on the 2nd try; other times I have to refresh multiple times to get it to load.
Anyone know what is causing this or what will help?
