Notes

• IE11 is a supported browser:
  https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Cloud/Supported+browsers
• Using private browsing in IE does not either

Workaround

Use a different web browser such as Chrome or Firefox or

the easiest workaround for this (but you will loose the accessibility improvements) is to change entire files $JIRA-install-directory/atlassian-jira/static/util/assistive.js and $JIRA-install-directory/atlassian-jira/static/util/assistive-min.js to the following:

define('jira/util/assistive', [], function() {
    return {
        wait: function() {},
        readText: function() {},
        createOrUpdateLabel: function() {}
    };
});

It should fix the problem with IE crashing.
