Likely it is this open bug:

  http://jira.source.android.com/jira/browse/GERRIT-62

Gerrit is known to not work in Internet Explorer.  As an open source
developer, my primary desktop system runs Linux.  My portable laptops
all run Mac OS X, because its shiny.  I have no system capable of
running Internet Explorer, nor do I desire to send dollars towards
Redmond in order to obtain an OS license in order to do so.

Something is busted in the IE AJAX code used by Gerrit Code Review.
I'm guessing that instead of making the data available to the AJAX
callback, IE wants to save it as a file on disk.  No clue why.
And due to the lack of IE, I am unable to debug the problem myself.
I am waiting for someone who really cares about using IE to debug
it and contribute the patch back.

FWIW, there are open source browsers available even for Microsoft
Windows.  Firefox and Chrome come to mind...  both work, as their
underlying engines are ported to more OSes and are easier to test.
Firefox is currently better tested however.
