Windows 7 64bit. New HP computer. I loaded firefox and use excite as my homepage. When excite comes up the page loads and about 7 or 8 seconds later a pop up appears with "The URL is not valid and can not be loaded" on it. I can't figure out what URL is not valid. It does it every time I refresh or come back to the homepage. It just did it again as I type this.

Can anyone help?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
