URL is not valid and cannot be loaded pop-up problem has started again and I can't find any reference in FF Help. Do I have to scroll thru 23,000 support questions asked?

This problem HAS happened before, maybe 1.5 yrs ago. While on a valid page a pop-up saying URL is invalid and can not be loaded appears. Frequency starts increasing in time. Then I can not load any of my bookmarked pages without re-starting my laptop. Has been getting worse since last FF update.

well after 4 days and no support help, I said screw it. Good bye FireFox, your excellent customer service on this issue drove me to install Google Chrome. Just like Opera's piss poor customer support drove me to FireFox, now Firefox is driving me elsewhere.

This issue is NOT AN ADD ON issue, nor THEME ISSUE, its a FIREFOX ISSUE, but their lack of a fix is inadequate for me. I hate the damn annoying pop up every time I open firefox so I will dump firefox and move on after 5 yrs.

Google Toolbar was the cause of my "URL is not valid" problem. Once removed the pop-ups stopped and my computer runs faster. For someone else to discover whether it is a Google or Firefox issue. Did not receive a reply from Google when I posed the question to them.
