my version of Mozilla Firefox is 9.01. I have set the my home page to Mozilla's default homepage, which is the Mozilla firefox start page. A pop up came by, saying "URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". I cannot find any info on the support web and had to resolve to this.

That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Package) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

Hi wanchoongchin-

I don't know why the URL is not valid. I would recommend going to the page you want to be your homepage, and re-setting the value like this:

  • Firefox > Preferences > General > Home Page > Click 'Use Current Page' button

Hope that helps!

Someone else reported this error and the problem was that the old www.google.com/firefox page was set as home page. You can fix this by restoring the default Firefox home page using the "Restore to Default" button

I tried all of the ideas suggested here and none of them worked. Anyone have anything else?

Your problem is with the about:home 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).
