Remote browser did not respond to getCurrentUrl

Question

I am getting following error while waiting for the URL to change.

The issue is intermittent, I doesn't always get the error. So if I will simply say getCurrentURL it passes. I guess it has do with calling it multiple times as it does in expctedConditions.

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.urlContains("cart-complete")));

Browser: Firefox 45.0

Wedriver:: 2.52.0

stacktrace

Can you give a bit more context? If there is surrounding code that works fine or not? What is your actual URL etc. — Alexey R.
It's a little strange web driver fail to get current url. what will happen if you add driver.getCurrentUrl() before wait? and what happen if run on chrome browser? — yong

Using this way I solve my problem wd.navigate().to(URL) URL is opening my site.

if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("ie")) {
        System.out.println(" Executing on IE");
        DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
        cap.setBrowserName("ie");
        String Node = "http://192.168.2.5:5555/wd/hub";
        wd = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(Node), cap);
        wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        // Launch website
        wd.navigate().to(URL);
}
