New Tabs page not loading, how do I fix it?
I'm getting this 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. /).

Thank You for your fast response, I will give it a try and get back to you! :)
maybe the preference for the new tab page isn't set correctly (an extension might have altered the page in the past). to check that please enter about:config in the location bar & search for the preference called "browser.newtab.url" - it should be set to about:newtab in order for the new tab page to show up. in case it isn't, right-click and reset it...
Ok I have found the problem. It seems to conflict with tool-bars! I only use two of them. Xfinity toolbar causes the error message. My "gamers-unite" toolbar just reverts to previous version page "about tabs"
Xfinity is a toolbar associated with my cable company and gamers-unite I have been using for well over a year. I guess I can try to turn it on when I need it and turn it off when I want to use the new tabs page.
