I've tried deleting caches, cookies, flush dns, change DNS servers...all that good stuffs that people suggest but it still doesnt work. This is getting really frustratiing.

Neville,
How do you undo the automatic DNS cache flushing? what is the AppleScript code to undo it? I will appreciate it.
Thanks
Trash the AppleScript.
Hi Neville,
I tried to follow all of your steps here. Unfortunately, AppleScript ran into a problem with "click menu item...." The error says
error "System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled." number -1719 from menu bar 1 of process "Safari"
Any idea how to resolve it?
I've been struggling with this invalid facebook URL thing for the last month and have tried flushing cache, changing DNS server, editing hosts files, and this seems like the last thing that might work.
Thanks!
Go to System Preferences / Universal Access and select 'Enable access for assistive devices'.
Hey Neville,
So I keep flushing my DNS but the Invalid URL page still shows up. Any idea on how to permanently get this away? It's like a daily occurrence for me.
Thanks.
Steve
Just restart your computer. This solves the Invalid URL problem 99% of the time.
I tried a lot of these terminal scripts and dns flushing, but then I found if I turn Wi-Fi off and then back on again from the Finder menu, everything works. Pretty simple. I guess if you have more than one device running in Wi-Fi the name server get confused.
How do I fix the "invalid URL" problem?
