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 <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).

    I was getting -3231 and kept seeing references online about routers and firewalls and connectivity issues.  I merely turned off my WiFi and went hardwired with ethernet and problem solved.  Give it a try and see if it works for you.

    I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.

  • 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.

  • I keep getting invalid signature when trying to upgrade to 10.5 from 10.4.1.10

    I've tried to install 10.5 numerous times and keep getting "invalid signature" error even after doing the suggested Apple Software Update 'repair' as well as doing the download and running the install manually.
    I now have updates piling up on my iPad2 as I can't sync to install ios5.......................  Not happy!

    Click here and download the software. Unless otherwise noted, a device running iOS 6 requires at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3 to be synced from a Mac.

  • I keep getting "Invalid URL" notices...is the Awesome Bar gone in Firefox 4?

    Just upgraded to FF4 from FF3.6.16. Tried typing keywords into the Awesome Bar expecting to get redirected, but instead all I get is a bevy of "Invalid URL" notices.
    Is the Awesome Bar gone in FF4? This is a serious inconvenience and I don't want to ditch FF for Chrome but I might if this is so.

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.

  • Keep getting"invalid Verb" when trying to load websites. IE MSN

    log on to main web page which is MSN. got to a couple of favorites and when I hit the home button to go back to MSN I get invalid Verb message. This also happens when trying to update fantasy sport lineups. I can get to the site, change my line up but when I try to pick up a player I get the invalid verb message with a blank screen. This happens all the time. Tried to uninstall fire fox and reinstall it but still the same problems. Love fire fox but this sucks. REALLY.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

    Can anyone help.
    Just trying to upgrade to Maverick but when it asks for my apple ID and password I get a message saying unidentified error. All details are correct and double checked.

    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.

  • I keep getting an error when trying to update and reinstall Acrobat 7.1.4

    I am running Win Vista Home Prem 32 bit.  When I updated to Acrobat Pro 7.1.4, during the update, I get the error "Cannot write to C:\....\ActiveX\iehelper.dll.  Clicking retry doesn't work.  Now my Acrobat doesn't work--it just returns to the installation process, and the same error occurs.
    So, I uninstalled Acrobat Pro with the intention of reinstalling it.  During the reinstallation of AP 7.0, now I get the same error.  I tried to change the attributes of the folder, but I can't do it.  I am logged in as Administrator.  I tried running setup as administrator, but I get the same error.
    Finally, I just tried to delete the folders, hoping that the installer would work right.  I can't delete the Acrobat folder/subfolders.
    I know this is probably a Windows question, but I thought I would try here first.
    Thanks.

    YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
    Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

  • HT4623 I keep getting error 21 when trying to restore and update my 4 day old iPhone 5?

    I try to update and restore my new iphone 5 becasue it is stuck in recovery mode but i come across error 21 message every time during restore. VERY FRUSTRATING as i only got this wonderful product 3 days ago!

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
