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.

  • 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.

  • Why oh why do I get "Invalid URL" when playing Mafia Wars on Facebook? Thank you very much. :)

  • 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.

    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 <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
    * Type in the Filter bar: mstone
    * Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
    * Close and restart Firefox

    Can you share the URL and possibly the screenshot of the error or the exact error message you are receiving?

  • Why do I get "Invalid URL" / "404 - Not Found" notifications on both MacBook and iPhone?

    This happens only on my home wifi network, and only to selective sites--usually Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram, and, most recently and most annoyingly, Google. It happens on both Chrome and Firefox on my computer, as well as Safari on my iPhone and the apps for those sites.
    This happens to all my family's Mac devices. Our network is unsecured (very stupid, I know--it's a long story involving my very tech-unsavvy and stubborn parents).
    Restarting my computer, clearing my cache, using secure connections doesn't help at all. The strangest result is sometimes it won't just give me an error message, I'll be directed to another site in entirely--usually MySpace, Yahoo!, and sometimes some weird Swedish fashion blog.
    Please help, this is very very very frustrating as sometimes I am blocked from a certain site for hours at a time.
    Thanks!

    why do I get this message when going on a website The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator.  Your support ID is: 1074107325772756576. I have only experienced this while trying to go on the Michael Kors website. How do I stop this from happening?

    That's a problem on the web server, not on your computer.

  • Why am I getting an error when I place two OAM files one after the other in different pages?

    Why am I getting an error when I place two OAM files one after the other in different pages? They do not load or play correctly.  They are both configured to play automatically with a .125 second delay and both have a white rectangle "poster" over for a hidden effect.

    Thanks for the idea, Scott! I initially tried your idea, but my OAM files were still not loading correctly.  I tried other combinations of OAM files, and it seems to work fine.
    Back to my original OAM files: I made sure that my elements in my Edge Animate project had different names. I originally copied parts of some elements from one to another, and I think it was confusing to DPS to read it.

    If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
    I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes.  First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone.  It asked if i wanted to install it.  I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
    So therein is the answer.  Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
    There is no bug.  While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes.  Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors.  That's not a function specifically of the device.

    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

    Why i dont get email notifications when someone uses my apple account to know my location through Find my Iphone?

    Try adding [email protected] as a VIP contact in your icloud mail app using the appleid used for icloud if using multiple accounts (i.e different itunes and icloud account).
    But seriously that happens really !? not getting emails for using icloud services with a valid appleid.
