Kibana version: 5.6

Elasticsearch version: 5.6

Browser version : Edge/IE11

Browser OS version: Win10

When I will try access the kibana through the IE or Edge Browser that time URL-Overflow error shouldn't happen often ;), we've noticed that Kibana redirects to `/#/error/url-overflow` instead of `/{basepath}/#/error/url-overflow`. But other browsers it's working fine.

Errors in browser console (if relevant):  
none

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant) :  
none

This is because there is a limit to maximum URL size in IE and earlier version of Edge. For this, there is a setting in Advanced Settings, called `state:storeInSessionStorage` which will store the state in session storage instead of the URL. This way you won't get the error.

"Unable to completely restore the URL, be sure to use the share functionality.".
