Joomla and “can’t execute code from a freed script” error

For those using internet explorer, Stop Using It. It is a security bug by itself!!

The following error kept coming up using internet explorer with a joomla site of mine “can’t execute code from a freed script” . I had no idea what caused it but in the end it turned out to be the order of the script and meta tags in the head section of the page.
Make sure that all meta tags are before any script tags.  Joomla will add its own meta tags that don’t appear hardcoded in the template itself. It turned out that some plugin also added some script tags in the head section in this rather unorthodox way. A meta tag which followed caused havoc! I ended up moving the content meta tag at the top of the head section and the problem was solved. Kudos to the following website:
