When I click on some links firefox opens a new tab but does not launch the web page. The tab says (GIF Image, 1 x 1 pixels) but the screen is blank. I can get to the sites on my wife's firefox, but not on mine or on chrome from my computer.

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.
