Firefox 13 New Tab opens page with error 'The page isn't valid'
Installed version Firefox 13. New Tab button, file New Tab or Ctrl-T results in message:
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. /).

I have found a solution that solves my problem. I went into about:config, browser.newtab.url and changed the about:newtab to about:blank. I am very happy that I can add new tabs without errors and the blank page works for me.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Can you recall what you had a new tab before? By default, a new Firefox tab in earlier versions would have been completely blank. However, some add-ons were designed to add content to a blank new tab. It's possible that there is a conflict between an add-on and Firefox's new tab feature.
When you create a new tab, right-click the page, and choose View Page Info, what is the address listed in the dialog?
If it's not about:newtab, could you try typing or pasting about:newtab in the url bar. Do you get the expected page thumbnails?
You can check the value of the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page.
Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox 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).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
