What does "Your url is invalid and can not be loaded." mean?

Logged on, pulled up mail on bookmark (aol), clicked on home symbol and got the message. Got rid of the aol tab, the home page had nothing on it, no google, no anything but my tool bar.

See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/908165 this support question] esp. Vivec.Wilfred's response. Sounds like it answers the question of Firefox 9.0.1 not being able to load its own default homepage on certain Win XP systems (I get this as well). Need to install appropriate DLLs to fix, or wait for official fix.

  • When I launch Firefox, I get a message stating that the " URL is invalid and will not be loaded". Clicking "OK" removes the message and then launches Firefox. How do I locate & remove the invalid URL?

    Launching Firefox opens a message window stating "URL is invalid and will not be loaded. The message window includes an "OK" button. Clicking this button closes the window and immediately launches Firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • The URL is not valid and can not be loaded in excite home page

    Windows 7 64bit. New HP computer. I loaded firefox and use excite as my homepage. When excite comes up the page loads and about 7 or 8 seconds later a pop up appears with "The URL is not valid and can not be loaded" on it. I can't figure out what URL is not valid. It does it every time I refresh or come back to the homepage. It just did it again as I type this.
    Can anyone help?

  • My internet is on and I keep getting an alert window popping up saying the URL is not valid and can not be loaded?

    I don't know what more details I can give you except for what I indicated. I am online and a window will pop up indicating the URL is not valid and can not be loaded. Make it stop! That's all! Furthermore you should not limit people on the length of their question. How can they explain it ?

    Thats the annoying part! I have enough space and I'm putting things on a external hard drive and I keep deleting it off the computer.

  • The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page with my downloadable list of songs. How do you down load a purchase? I have made 3 purchases of the same song and can not down load it and the HELP instructions don't help.

    The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page listing my purchase.
    The HELP instructions list that such a button must be clicked to down load an item.
    I have made 3 purchases of the same song in an attempt to download it.
    Only one of those purchases appears on the page that list purchases available to down load.
    I wrote out a copy of the HELP page instructions (the page can't be printed) so I could accurately follow it as I tried to do the down load.
    Is there some secret to downloading a purchase or causing the down load button to appear?

    Hello L Swarz,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when downloading your purchased song to your iPod nano.
    I am not sure if you have tried these specific steps, but I recommend downloading the purchased song to iTunes on your computer using the steps in the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Having trouble changing master password as i have forgotten it and can not get it to reset please help

    I have tried to remember what the first pass word was and can not get it done. i can not send out emails on both of my email accounts [email protected] or [email protected] as both request password. when i have tried to reset master password it will not except any thing that i am doing. i need to send out emails for my work and having trouble doing the change. Please help

    The master password protects saved passwords in Thunderbird and has nothing to do with connecting to your providers server. You need to work with your email provider if you have forgotten your email password. Go to their email help site and look for a link to reset your password.
    If you are truly working with a forgotten master password this article tells you how to remove it.

  • I brought two movies and can not download them both onto my iPod....why?

    I brought two movies... Safe Haven and 42, the Jackie Robinson story....and can not down load them both onto my iPod..... why??  If can not down load the movies onto my iPod, why bother to have an iPod or buy the movies from ITunes?

    If the problem is iTunes slowing down and not appearing to run correctly, you should check  this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

  • What does " this code must be redeemed in the Australian storefront " mean? And how can I fix it?

    What does " this code must be redeemed in the Australian storefront " mean? And can I fix it?

    All iTunes gifts and gift cards are country-specific, they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue. Are you in Australia with an Australian billing address on your account ? If you are then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Australia.
    If you are not in Australia then you won't be able to use it.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • What does a grey file folder and ? mark blinking mean on my macbook?

    What does a grey file folder and ? mark blinking on my macbook mean and how do I fix it???

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
    With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • What does "Error-2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie"means?

    what does "Error-2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie"means?

    I have the exact same problem. I have a PPC 6700, and now I can't view movies I created with it in mp4. If change extension file to 3GP video works just fine.
    Also, when I try to see a webpage with a Quicktime video clip, I only get a Quicktime logo with a big question mark in it, but no play.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing seems to work.
    I have Windows XP, and it worked fine until a couple weeks ago. Not sure if when upgrading to Quicktime 7.2, though.
