I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
Thanks for the help

That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).
