Problems w/ Safari displaying pages; title bar says, "1 x 1 pixels"

[reubs]

My wife's MacBook (10.5.8) has been acting really funny lately, and I used it recently and tried to get on Safari. I can't get any pages to come up, and any pages I do try come up blank, and at the top the display normally says what page I'm on, it instead says, "(page URL), 1x1 pixels.

I checked SW update, installed all updates, and restarted, and that didn't fix anything.

Anyone ever seen this? Anyone know what might cause the problem? I should note that Firefox works fine FWIW.

A quick Google search for: -- safari 1 x 1 pixel -- brings ups a number of results like this one.

My guess would be ad blockers

Yeah, me too. As an example, I had a friend with that problem and turned out to be his virus protection (on a PC). It was a pic on my site and it had "promo" in the title of the pic--and his program blocked it.

Hmm, I'll check into that. I tried googling AND MRoogling for a result, but I wasn't having any luck; thanks for the link, angelwatt. Next time I'm on it I'll check into the adblockers to see if that's causing the problems.

Thanks for the info.
