I get "Invalid URL" messages

OFten, when refreshing my Yahoo Mail and other random websites, I get the "Invalid URL" mesage. The error says "The requested URL "XXXXXXX", is invalid", however that is NOT the same URL in the address window. This happens mostly with Yahoo mail but also randomly with other websites.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://us.mc371.mail.yahoo.com/mc....

I deleted Faster Fox and don't seem to have the problem with invalid URL

Since the update loaded on my computer my web pages will not load and i get invalid url message

Ever since firefox updated to 17, my web pages will not load. When I type in the search bar and hit the enter button, the address switches to https and i get a message stating that my page is an invalid url and the following message
Reference #9.1db78443.1354339468.3c70717c
I have cleared my histories and cookies and restarted my computer but cant get it to work.
I can type in www.google and go directly to the google page and then gain access to my pages, just not through the firefox address bar.

Why do i get invalid url when loading google homepage

When firefox is loading i get an invalid url message and the google homepage will not load. After clicking the home page button a couple of times it will finally load up.I am so far unable to isolate the problem.Norton internet security 2010 is installed and was before the problem occured.No add on's are installed,just the normal extensions and plug ins. I would appreciate a solution.

Recurring "invalid url" message on trusted websites

I have an iMac and use Firefox and Safari browsers. This problem happens with both. Everything will be fine then I try to navigate to a website, or within a website, and I get something like this:
Invalid URL
The requested URL "/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1&CurrentPage=MyeBayAllSelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME :LNLK:MESX", is invalid.
Reference #9.24094a17.1410956231.fe93903
This particular example is from ebay. I am able to log on to ebay and go to my home page there, but when I try to navigate within the "my ebay" drop down menu, I get this message, BUT, only for certain links! Out of 10 links in the drop down menu, only 3 work. The others give me the "invalid url" message.
This issue has been ongoing and I have found many references to it over several years if I do a web search, but nobody has offered a solution that solves the problem. I have tried clearing cache, etc. but no luck. The only thing I have found that does the trick is to do a complete shut down and restart of my Mac. I don't want to have to do this all the time. Please help!

You are welcome.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Keep getting "invalid url" when searching title bar and built in google search.

When I use the title bar, or the home page to search using google, i get "invalid url". If I manually type in www.yahoo.com, or any other site, everything works fine. Usually if I restart the computer, everything is normal again. This does no happen all the time, but once it starts, it wont go away. I even restarted in safe mode and then disabled all add ons and still nothing.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

You can reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
* Open the about:config page via the location bar
* Type in the Filter bar: mstone
* Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset

Why do I get INVALID URL when I try to use links thru facebook?

I use a laptop, running Windows7, with Mozilla and Safari as my main browsers. I've noticed that 75% of the time,(when I'm on Firefox) and I am on Facebook, when I try to play my games I get INVALID URL. If it happens on Mozilla it also happens on Safari (I've checked). Nothing I do works. I've tried every suggested *fix*, and nothing helps. It only affects FB and the links thru FB. I can go to any other website, just not fb nor any of the links to my games. All plugins are up to date except Silverlight plugin because I don't know what it is, nor how it got on my laptop. Haven't deleted it because I don't know what it is and what it's for.

If you still can't redeem your card, then you should contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ and provide the serial number on the back of your gift card. The article above shows you how to locate the serial number.

Firefox can't deal with links from Wash. Post. Get invalid URL errror message. Works fine on Safari, though.

The home page of the Washington Post works fine. But If I try to open a link on that page, I get the message:
Invalid URL
The requested URL "/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/05/AR2011030500289.html?nav=hcmodule", is invalid.
Reference #9.243b543f.1299342316.143eddb7
The above URL is not the one shown when hovering over the link.

Thanks for the solution. Worked like a charm!

Occasionally I get an "Invalid URL" message when I visit frequently used websites.

When I visit some of my frequently visited websites, I sometimes get an "Invalid URL" error page. Then, about 15-20 minutes later, the website works fine. I tried going to Google Chrome and it works just fine. This is only happening in Firefox.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

Invalide URL message w/multiple sites

I am having difficulty logging into, staying logged into, or even entering multiple sites. It started with just facebook, but now I get the "URL Invalid" message or "Access Denied" on many sites (diapers.com, google maps, even apple sites, too name a few). Sometimes when I am logged into a site and click on a link, a box will pop up that says safari cannot verify the security certificate or invalid security certificate of whatever website I am logged into, and I am no longer able to use the site. It is driving me crazy! I have read some other threads with this discussion, but most instances of this seem to be isolated to facebook - not mine. I have reset Safari numerous times and emptied the cache. Also, my OS is up-to-date. Is this some kind of virus or bug?
