I’ve solve the problem.
The reason I can’t open salesforce url with hidden browser is that I have added that url in “Trusted site” of internet option.
When I remove salesforce url from “Internet option” → “Security” → “Site”, it works fine.
In case I activate the “Protected mode” of IE, it works fine also.
