When I click on the addresses of certain websites, I get in the tab (Gif.pic, 1x1 pixel). Not the majority of sites but at what seems to be random. The latest example was googlemapsstreetview.com. Using Firefox 3.6.3 Mozilla 5.0 with Vista.

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead. Kaspersky": "Protection > Firewall > Filtration system: disable the "Banner Ad Blocker" See Configuring Kaspersky Internet Security and Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet

Irina, hi. I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to your problem.

You could try a) posting a new thread (this one is "solution proposed", so fewer people may see it) mentioning that you couldn't follow the steps from Configuring Kaspersky Internet Security. b) Making sure Kaspersky is updated and you don't have other security software that might be interfering c) uninstalling Kaspersky completely (temporarily) to see if the problem is indeed caused by it d) if the problem is caused by Kaspersky, contacting their support.
