What is the cause[edit]

How to fix[edit]
Change the source code to something similar as below.
From this:
$browser = JBrowser::getInstance();
//...To this (with legacy way to load classes):
JLoader::import('joomla.environment.browser') // Add this linecode
$browser = JBrowser::getInstance();
//...
