Why are internal pages giving the error message "The address isn't valid" (New tab and session restore)?

Upon restarting firefox today, I was met not with the usual session restore page to which I have grown so accustomed, but an error page stating:
"The address isn't valid
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.
Web addresses are usually written like http://www.example.com/
Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /)."
This also appears when I open a new tab. I've lost all of former tabs (of which I had a TON) and my easy access to my most visited sites that new tab usually gives me. Manually punching in about:sessionrestore, about:welcomeback or about:newtab all give this same error message.
I've already tried restarting in safe mode, and have reset firefox through the troubleshooting page- neither helped in the slightest. In fact, I "fixed" the about:newtab by changing it to :blank instead, and that got reverted in the Reset. Did the most recent update change how the internal pages are handled or something?
I'd like to fix things back to how they're supposed to be. I end up having to reset Firefox about 5 times a day whenever it gets greedy with my memory, which has never been more than a minor annoyance thanks to the good system restore. But if I can't repair this then it may be time to move on.
Any ideas?

Hi.
I stated in my initial question that I already went through safe mode (and had also tried the theme thing), but regardless, I have tried again. No dice. They're still not fixing the problem.

  • Why do I get the error message: "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTune." I am using iTunes9.1.1 which, I believe, is the highest for OS 10.4.11 ?

    Hello,
    Did you reinstall lately?
    My 10.4.11 Drive seemes to have iTunes 7.6.2 on it, have you tried Software update to see if iTunes is listed?
    Another 10.4.11 drive has iTunes 6.05 on it... I hate upgrading iTunes, seems worse at every upgrade.
    The 10.5.8 drive I'm booted from now has iTunes 8.02 on it.

    I just migrated from 2011 macbook to new 2014 macbook with Yosemite on it.
    Here is the main error - Dyld Error Message:   Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/NyxAudioAnalysis.framework/Versions/A/NyxAudioAnalysis   Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/ A/iLifeSlideshow   Reason: image not found

    There is a framework missing in your System library. You need to reinstall MacOS X to restore the dynamic library:

    How are you launching iPhoto? From your Dock? The Dock icon may still be linked to an older iPhoto version. Just to be sure, you are opening really iPhoto 9.6, launch iPhoto by double-clicking the iPhoto icon in your applications folder. Your crash log  with the the "Library not found" error message should show the version number of iPhoto. Which version is it showing?

    Try
    Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
    Then try:
    Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
    Log in and update to 10.6.8
    c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
    reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

  • When trying to udate iTunes on my PC, I recieve the error message "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed"  How do I correct this error and not lose all the music I have in iTunes?

    When trying to update my version of iTunes on my PC with Windows 7,  I receive the error message "The older version of iTunes cannot be romoved".  How do I correct this problem without losing all the music that I have in iTunes on my PC?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I keep getting the error message "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."

    When I try and move an application to my application folder from the installer and when I try to empty the trash, I get the error message, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."  This has only been an issue since I upgraded to Lion.  I'm using a July '07 white Macbook 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo.  In my trash I only have an older version of a software that I updated (Divy).  The software I'm trying to install is Angry Birds Rio.

    Always use the same websites you are having problems with so you can monitor the changes.
    Try the reset for Safari:
    And for Firefox:
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6874158_keyboard-working-certain-websites-firefox.html
    Try logging in to the guest account as well to see if you have the same problems there, it might be a logging in issue.

  • My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: The server responded with "500" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

    My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: "The server responded with “500” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."

    OK Now I can answer my own question.  The incomprehensible (inexcusably geeky) error message is actually Apple language for saying simply: "The iCloud servers are down again.  Please wait until we've fixed them."  I found this out by talking to Apple support.  It took about 12 hours for the iCloud server synching calendars to come back online.  When they did, my calendar reloaded, and everything was fine.

  • How do I get iTunes back when I get the error message ; the application "I Tunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?

    how do I get ITunes back when I get the error message :
    The application "ITunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows.  Do you want to restore it's windows?
    I already tried reloading ITunes and it still doesn't startup.

    You didn't mention but are you still running a version of iPhoto older than iPhoto 11?
    If yes, then go to the App Store and purchase the iP 11 app and install it. Back up your photo library first.
    Once iP 11 is installed and has imported all your photos do a restart of the Mac.
    This should resolve most issues with iTunes 10.6 and you should be able to run iTunes and sync up your iOS devices.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Just recently on my IPad I can’t update my App. I keep getting the error message “invalid Address” what is going on?

    There are a number of threads about this - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
    ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
    putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
    expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
